Public bug reported:
I have a new lenovo g555 notebook.
It came with a 200mb ntfs partition, a roughly 100gb ntfs partition, a 30gb
ntfs partition, and a 17gb partition.
I srunk the 30gb partition, and was able to install ubuntu successfully.
I then removed the shrunk 30gb partition as well as ubuntu, with the plan to
grow the 100gb partition,
and then install ubuntu on a 10gb partition. I put the dvd in, but after the
progress bar filled up, there
was a long pause, an error message, and I was dumped into a command prompt. I
was in a 'Desktop' directory.
I rebooted, and tried to run the live dvd, but got the same result.
I reloaded the windows OS, which ended up with the 200mb partition, the 100mb
partition, a space where I had
removed the 30gb partition, and the 17gb partition. I then tried to reinstall
ubuntu with the same results.
I put in a mandriva 2010.0 dvd, and installed it with absolutely no
issues.
I suspect the odd filesystem layout somehow caused ubuntu to abort.
I think that no matter what the filesystem layout, at least the live-dvd part
of ubuntu should work.
You need an easier way to report bugs when you cannot run ubuntu; for
example when the install process fails.
