Bug Description

Xubuntu noble install on
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6230, 7gb, amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)

Manual partitioning install; system has two prior noble installs (sda1 & sda2) so I selected to install to sda2 (ext4 with compulsory format)

** Expected result

install completes & I can boot into grub, be offered a prior lubuntu install, or this new xubuntu install

** Actual result

install stopped reporting "Something went wrong"... thus this report.

on reboot, it booted straight into lubuntu.. it appears grub-install wasn't run

on reboot, the newly installed system was not offered at grub; it likely never got to `grub-install` execution... install QA testcase failed.

Hi,

It looks to me that this might be an issue in the archive. Are you able to reproduce the same issue with a new installation?

Thank you,
Olivier

This was re-tried earlier today... I encountered issues yes, but NOT this issue.. so I'll concur, likely network/archive issue & thus of no importance.
