Bug Description
- dual-boot along Win7
- wubi install (11.04-
- message box:
"Installation failed
The installer encountered an unrecoverable error and will now reboot. [OK]"
- opened \ubuntu\
after seeing current bug reports and guidelines, will retry the install using manual hard reset, see if I can retrieve any of the required log files, at all.
affects: | ubiquity (Ubuntu) → wubi |
To post a comment you must log in.
could not retrieve logs; found them using Ctrl-Shift-F1 (via terminal) while error is on screen. need some way to copy logfiles to a safe place as they get deleted even on hard reset. might try to copy logfiles to filesystem root.
at the same time, found a workaround: unplugging the network cable seems to make Wubi/ubiquity skip over some steps which are responsible for this error.
yet, other errors pop up afterwards, see https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ update- manager/ +bug/825736
