Attached is the log. I think this may be a clue:
Stat failed for /media/cdrom/dists/bionic/main/dist-upgrader/binary-all/Packages - stat (2: No such file or directory) Feb 4 13:39:32 base-installer: Feb 4 13:39:32 base-installer: E Feb 4 13:39:32 base-installer: : Feb 4 13:39:32 base-installer: No CD-ROM could be auto-detected or found using the default mount point. Feb 4 13:39:32 base-installer: Feb 4 13:39:32 base-installer: Feb 4 13:39:32 base-installer: You may try the --cdrom option to set the CD-ROM mount point. There is a "cdrom" (well a virtual one under VirtualBox). In another terminal...I looked and there is no /media/cdrom directory However there is a /media/dists/bionic/main/dist-upgrader/binary-all/Packages note: the above path is /media/dists/... and not /media/cdrom/dists... Is the changed mount point breaking it finding the packages? ** Attachment added: "syslog" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1746807/+attachment/5048818/+files/syslog.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746807 Title: 18.04 daily installer fails missing kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1746807/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
