Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Installation fails on my machine. It's a brand new Samsung Series 9, NP900X3A-A02US.
I wiped the disk and set up the following partitions:
sda1 - 15360mb ext4 /
sda2 - 15360mb unused
sda3 - 6144mb swap
sda4 - [remaining, 97gb iirc] ext4 /home
I chose "encrypted home directory".
To post a comment you must log in.
After further experimentation, I've found that the partitioning and the use of encrypted home directory doesn't matter. I chose "use the whole disk" automatic partitioning, and didn't select encrypted home directory, and the installer still crashed while attempting to use grub2.
I have the computer nearby and am willing to run further experiments.
Also, I apologize for not mentioning it, but this is using the 11.04 daily build from 4/18, amd64 desktop. sha1sum is b1bb9ae918419fc 7f5c2577db7b7e4 ab82ac898f.
