Comment 2 for bug 318243

There is no need to tell me how bad the problem is; I can work that out for myself! :-) It sounds like the installation was perhaps only partially completed, but it is not clear.

I do need some very basic information from you which you haven't provided:

  * Which version of Ubuntu were you installing?
  * Did you see the installer's final message indicating that it completed successfully? (It will have looked something like "Installation is complete. You need to restart your computer in order to use the new installation. [etc.]") Alternatively, did you see anything indicating that the installer had crashed?
  * Assuming that you managed to get the system up and running in the end, please attach the files /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/installer/partman to this bug report. Those files are critical to let me discover what happened here, and I will be unable to do anything with this bug without those files.

Thanks in advance.
