[Bug 985971] Re: Ubiquity failed to install grub in precise 20120419.1

[Colin Watson]

I think we could use some redesign of "install alongside", but there's
no chance of that for 12.04.  I'm surprised to find that affecting the
GRUB location, though, because it's not supposed to.  Any chance you
could do an installation in debug mode so that I can get a bit more
information?  Add 'debug-ubiquity' as a boot parameter, and just take
care not to use a valuable password since the password will appear in
the debug log.  Then attach the same set of logs to this bug.

Title:
  Ubiquity failed to install grub in precise 20120419.1

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This happened during an install alongside an existing one. On
  rebooting after the installation, the previous test install booted
  instead of this one. Running "update-grub" from that install allowed
  me to reboot into the fresh installation.

  I got suspicious when running apt-get update as part of the testing
  routine produced a complete reload of the package lists from the
  repos, and looked further. But someone who was installing alongside
  Windows for the first time might well be thinking that nothing had
  happened at all.

  Apart from that, it seems to be running correctly.
