I tried to perform an install of Karmic Alpha 2 with the desktop i386 CD and suffered from this bug, and using the boot-time option "grub- installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy=false" listed in the release notes did not work, unfortunately. I have a dual-boot configuration with Windows 7 RC on my Inspiron 510m laptop.
If any users are reading this a) who cannot install via the instructions listed in the Alpha 2 release notes, and b) do not wish to wait until alpha 3, there is a way to get it working: When you login to the live environment, open a terminal and perform the following steps: $ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity ubiquity-frontend-gtk ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork This will upgrade the ubiquity installer to the fixed version within your live environment. You can now run the installer and it should hopefully complete GRUB2 installation for dual-boot systems successfully. -- sometimes tries to edit menu.lst even with GRUB 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
