BIG BUG in the Kubuntu Installation-Program
Did I post these BUGs on the right forum or not!?? - This are real bugs in
the KUBUNTU-Implementation of the installation program! - Since I want to have
an actual operating system with full bug actualisations i tried the same
procedure with the same version of UBUNTU 18.04 - and miracle - THERE the
installation succeeded!!! - Neverteless ALL the LVM inconvenients and bugs are
very similar -but at least the writing of the boot-record and the
GRUB-Installation WORKED!!!
Its really a pitty that the KUBUNTU-Team cant provide a LVM running
installation! - with two LVM-used disks...!?? - And I would like it so much to
get Kubuntu, because I hate the gnome environment and behaviour!! -
Could anybody forward these posts to any developer who could resolve the
problems!?? - will the resolving be part of any Release-note remark???:rip:
thanks a lot anybody
The Bug is in any case reproducible on my hardware since i tried it several
times in different installation-modes! - PLEASE FIX THIS!!! - Since ubuntu
18.04 works!
Grub-Installation ISSUE
The installation-routine of 18.04 LTS 64 bit seems quite buggy! - at least
with a new 500 GB Samsung SSD-drive
The drive was well recognied by the bios and also by linux and it was
possible to manage it by gparted.
I have a "old" raid-system in the PC which is also configured by LVM2
I tried to install in several kinds.
1.) manually - there was the problem, that in the lvm-configuration it is
actually NOT POSSIBLE to give an specific lv-name to each lv - any changement
seems also not possible - so the LVs are numerated notoriously from 1 to n -
what is often not helpfully
- when I also put the configuration on and start the installation - then
the programm rubs without any question the Swap-partition of the OLD RAID-lvm
!!! This is not very usefull since the Raid will be much slower than the SSD -
and just I want to speed up the system!
After installation there is the message that the grub-installation failed
since it could not write to /dev/sda however the SSD has /dev/sdb
THIS issue cames also in the automatical installation!
Other issue:
configuring first all LV with mountpoint and changing later it to set the
format-option makes crashing the programm
- when there is any LVM-partition it seems not possible to remove/delete
it!
- in the same way it is not possible to delete any partition in relation to
an LV! or VG
- - to make such changes seems not possible...!
DOES the programmer of this nice prog have any real experience with LVM!???
2.) automatical installation with LVM
in my whole desesperation I tried now the automatical (guided) LVM -
installation - but here the grub-installation fails in the SAME WAY!
However I tried some howto - how to install or repair grub-install - but
even this dont works as promised and fails with mount-issues -
Also grub-setup ist not available!
How shall I change to the new Kubuntu, when it is even not possible to
realize a simple installation!???
??????:-\
How can I now install the actual kubuntu 18.04 LTS!???
Some tests with the LVM-Options enabled with the installation programm...
seems strongly recommended!
