I downloaded the 14/2/2012 lubuntu CD to try and re-create Fairnet's problem. It certainly is crash-tastic (a whole load of messages when the desktop first appears), but it installed perfectly. No sign of the mirror problem in the syslog. From what I remember of the code that DEBUG message in post 1 is only printed if the installer is set to manual - its absence must mean we are now on automatic? Which is good!
>From the lubuntu QA message list I think Fairnet has now got a successful install using the 15/2/2012 CD https://lists.launchpad.net /lubuntu-qa/msg00077.html . There is another problem with the PowerPC installs - I don't think it is what Fairnet experienced though - where the nvram is not updated to the new bootloader partition. It only comes to light on a dual boot system. It is to do with a lack of /dev/nvram. I think it is due to a kernel change as nvram is now a module and it wasn't before. I'm going to look into that a bit more, but I think I'll end up raising a bug against the kernel package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919356 Title: Default hostname needed for PowerPC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/choose-mirror/+bug/919356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
