[Bug 1992978] Re: Clean install, crash followed 'error removing initramfs-tools'

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

This installation looks like it was caused by a corrupted file system,
or device problems. I notice in the logs

I've marked this bug as incomplete (due hardware issues), if you believe
I'm in error please leave a comment as to why, and you can return the
status to "New".

I suggest you validate the health of your hardware (esp. disk by
checking it's SMART status using `smartctl`, `gnome-disks` or whichever
tool you prefer), and possibly the integrity of your partition table
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools). If you're unfamiliar
with these, I suggest seeking support, options available can be seen at
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/finding-help/709

Title:
  Clean install, crash followed 'error removing initramfs-tools'

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Attempting clean install after computer failed to boot.  
  Unsure how to attach requested log files, attempting copy & paste seems to give only filenames (unless content is hidden beneath); both included in the hope they're useful.  (I am a very basic, unskilled user, really don't much know my way around the internals... any guidance would be welcome.  If possible to copy messages to keithjbmobile at gmail.com it will help, that is my emergency backup email.
