[Bug 1851955] Re: ubuntu 19.10 boot installer failed

[Ian Scott]

Hi Steve

I can of course only reply on a notebook running an OS *that works*. How
could I reply on a notebook that doesn't work? *I have been clear and exact
on all I have replied*. I have tried to assist. I cannot do the impossible
Steve. Ubuntu definitely has a problem here. Can you solve this problem or
not?

Whether you can acknowledge and address this Ubuntu problem that it
definitely is now or not matters to me neither. I have tried within what I
could possibly be able to do to help. Perhaps this isn't enough. In any
case, maybe Ubuntu is in sunset now, bootless.

Ian
