[Bug 770091] Re: Unsolicited attempt to import files and settings

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

This problem repeated itself when I tried to install Oneiric Alpha 3 via
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/alpha-3/oneiric-desktop-
amd64.iso

However, while previously only the grub menu entries for the new version
became non-working, this time grub was really screwed up, leaving me
with a "grub rescue>" prompt and not being able to start the system from
the disk. After having spent a few hours on a failed attempt to fix it,
I took my laptop to the store where I bought it and payed them for doing
it.

After that and as before I was able to successfully install Alpha 3 via
the alternate image.

I really think that this bug should be given high priority. In my case
it resulted in a computerless state for a day (imagine!).

Title:
  Unsolicited attempt to import files and settings

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I tried to install a clean 32-bit build of 11.04. I tried both natty-
  desktop-i386.iso from the daily build and
  ubuntu-11.04-beta2-dvd-i386.iso. However, even if I didn't check any
  of the existing Ubuntu installations in other partitions when being
  asked if I wanted to import stuff, the installer still made an import
  attempt. (The import attempt failed, though, with the note that it
  couldn't unmount the partition from which it was about to import...)

  This happened during a couple if installation attempts that failed
  also in another respect (see bug #770090). I can't tell whether the
  two issues are related or not. Reporting them as two separate bugs for
  now.
