[Bug 821789] Re: Linux Mint 11, installer crashes after trying to install grub2 package.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

@aquikat,

from your syslog the error is
Sep 18 13:58:25 mint grub-installer: info: architecture: amd64/efi
Sep 18 13:58:25 mint grub-installer: info: Identified partition label for /dev/sdb5: msdos

Sep 18 13:58:25 mint grub-installer:  grub-pc
Sep 18 13:58:25 mint grub-installer:  grub-gfxpayload-lists

This was fixed in Ubuntu in 
grub-installer (1.60ubuntu3) natty; urgency=low

  * Remove grub-gfxpayload-lists in situations where we need to remove
    grub-pc (LP: #765270).

Please file a bug against the project Mint not Ubuntu.

@Thais, could you please attach the logs /var/log/syslog and
/var/log/partman from the failed installation.

Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Linux Mint 11, installer crashes after trying to install grub2
  package.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I`m trying to install Linux Mint 11 but every time it crashes when
  it`s installing the grub2 package. I receive a message saying...

  "We`re sorry, the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report and
  attach the files /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman"

  Now, I don`t know what that is and have no clue on how to get it. I
  read something about a problem similar to this one that you had to
  switch the language to English so that it would install perfectly. I
  tried that and it didn`t work.

   I would really appreciate if someone solved this for me.

  Thanks in advance.
