[Bug 1130617] [NEW] cant install bootloader and installation chrashed at the end

[Marcel Schipper]

Public bug reported:

the Ubuntu release I try to install on a dell precision 670 is version
12.10 x64 . I try to install from a usb flash pendrive created with
lilli and updated it to the latest release before I tried to install it
on my internal hdd.

Setup is already stopped and I cant find the logfiles

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ /var/log/installer/syslog
bash: /var/log/installer/syslog: No such file or directory

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$  /var/log/installer/partman instead
bash: /var/log/installer/partman: No such file or directory
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ 


ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy ubuntu 12.10
gir1.2-syncclient-12.10:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
lubuntu-artwork-12-10:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.34
  Version table:
     0.34 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/universe amd64 Packages
N: Unable to locate package ubuntu

I beleive the problem is the bootloader Grub, I decided to finisch the
installation without this file and install it manually. Can you explain
to me were i can find it and how and were i should install it?

I hope you can help me with the information provided.

Kind regards

I had a lot of installation crashes and already used boot repair before the last crash. A few times it said the package was from a third party but I downloaded it from the ubuntu website
