Trying a 14.04 netboot today still fails the same way. I had to do this to allow the installation to continue: - switch to the 2nd console (alt+f2) - press enter to get a command prompt - type these commands: chroot /target rm /initrd.img* dpkg --configure -a # it runs the linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic configuration exit # the chroot exit # the shell - switch back to the 1st console (alt+f1) - continue the installation by re-running the last step (software installation)
This allows the installation to continue, but this problem definitely forbids fully automated/unattended installation… :-( IMHO, it seems two kernels are trying to make the same link to /initrd.img and the second one fails to do it because it already exists, making its configuration (and the installation) to stop. The second kernel (3.13.0-66) is a security update coming from trusty- updates (and trusty-security). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1317602 Title: package linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic 3.13.0-24.46 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1317602/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
