Public bug reported: Binary package hint: debian-installer
1. While reinstalling Kubuntu Lucid beta, package installation failed and screen went red 2. Backed out to ncurses menu and attempted to rerun install software step and encountered error again. 3. Remainder of install (install and configure boot loader) proceeded without further incident. 4. Installed all desired software without difficulty after "first use" reboot. Because this was a reinstall, I had a list of previously installed packages and called it using (as root) dpkg --set-selections < <filename> && dselect 5. Am unable to run ubuntu-bug or apport to report this bug. This is because, after running jockey to install a proprietary video driver and rebooting, all calls to the Internet fail with an "unknown host" DNS error. This is particularly perplexing because I can ping the router and other hosts on the home network without difficulty. 6. Reproduced this entire series of events by repeating install. 7. Have therefore filed this bug from an installation of karmic on the same host. A gzipped tarball is attached with /var/log/installer/ and /var/log/syslog from the failed installation of lucid. 8. After rebooting, noted that apt-cdrom add command *_failed_*. This might be linked to this trouble report. ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kubuntu 64bit lucid alternate (text-based) beta daily 2010-03-25 throws error while installing software https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548572 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
