Clicking 'Yes, this is the bug I want to report' brings up a dialog box that won't go away

Did this happen while running the installer?

It would be helpful to know what bug you were trying to report, and also what, if anything, the dialog box said.

Greetings - and sorry. The installer died after clicking skip during the Configure Apt step.

While trying to report the bug, I saw that it is the same as a bug that has already been reported. I tried to use the 'Me too' on this site, but the pop up dialog box does not seem to have a way to submit it. I added the new bug out of frustration.

I have a Kubuntu install that has been upgraded to 9.10, and I wiped out my grub boot menu. I tried to boot off a Kubuntu 9.10 CD, but it uses Grub 2 and an upgraded Ubuntu uses Grub. I then tried my Ubuntu 8.10 disk, but my boot partition was ext4, and this is not supported. I had tried to make a new 9.04 disk - but couldn't burn a disk off the same drive I booted from. Tried using the USB-install disk creator with the 9.04 iso to make a USB boot disk, but it did not boot.

So I was trying to install into a new partition on a slow connection when the problem occurred. I was, by this time, a little frustrated :-(

Anyway - managed to get a 9.04 cd, fix grub and back up and running. Time to put the netbook edition back onto the USB disk :-)

So, if there is a 'submitted by an idiot' option, you can probably mark this with that.
