I was running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and totally goofed up the Operating System by trying to install i386 32 bit libraries in order to write code for Android. In the process of doing this unity was deleted, along with system settings, and MythTV, and well a whole bunch of software that I had added. Plus I had totally goofed up a recent upgrade by apt clean during an upgrade by mistake. So I decided to reload the OS which is on drive sda. Install on the live CD would not let me install to sda. It would let me install to sdb, or sdc, but not sda. None of the drives are raided. Taking out sdc, which has Windows 7 on it, and then live CD only let me instal to sdb. I had to disconnect every drive but the one I wanted in order to reload the OS. Small pain but totally not nice.
I hadn't seen anything on the forums suggesting that Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit was uncompatible with Eclipse and Java programming for Android. But there are a lot of threads out there stating that its safe to load 32 bit libraries on a 64 bit system which didn't make a lot of sense to me. Obviously I should have listened to myself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011000 Title: Boot loader failed to install for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1011000/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
