Public bug reported:
3 related issues (unrelated issue: why is it so hard to file a bug report? I
keep getting documentation telling me it might be a support question!)
- Live USB key only works once without manual edit; works multiple times after
manual edit
- installer run from Live USB key crashes (content of report suggest failure to
grep required seed file during copying)
- form to submit bug report can be filled out but not sent (clicking on submit
button repeatedly has no effect)
(also form asks for 2 attachments but allows only 1)
Ubuntu 11.10 for amd64 (x86_64)
Key created using unetbootin (auto download of iso rather than feeding iso) on
Windows XP - current version of unetbootin unless updated in past week; no
space set aside for preservation of files across boots
Ubuntu can be launched from key once live. After that it is necessary to
recreate the key or to edit two config files manually. I did the former
once and then the latter. I do not have routine access to a machine
capable of running unetbootin except the one I'm trying to put an OS on
which doesn't currently have a working OS.
Machine is booting UEFI.
Ask installer to use pre-created partitions without reformatting. (vfat for EFI
system partition just over 200MB is partition 1, no partition 2, partition 4 is
about 9G for swap, partition 7, 8, 9, 10 for /usr/local, /, /var, /home
respectively. Other partitions not to be used by installer. 7, 8 are about 20G.
9 is about 15G. 10 is probably about 150G or so. Disk is 320G total formatted
GPT in gdisk.
Choose location: OK.
Copying files...
Crash. I didn't take too much notice of the bug report content as it was
hard to read it as it was and I figured it would be posted online and
easy to look at later. But it failed to grep a seed file it needed.
Agree to submit bug report. Spend considerable time writing one. Browse
to upload syslog. Notice it wants partman but that it is not possible to
attach second file. Check report. Hit submit. Hit submit. Etc. Finally
give up.
