Installer crashed

Some additional comments that hopefully will help. The error occurred twice (i.e. is repeatable). CD matches md5sum on website (5133..). I had no problems installing Ubuntu 64-bit alternate RC and following the Edgy instruction for installing mythtv. When installing mythbuntu, I selected the advance option. Choose not to install some myth options (mythweather mythflix and a few others). Installed a mythweb password and a mysql root password). Choose to install the fglrx driver, as I need it for HDTV. Install went fine until 95% and then gave error. If you want a detailed spec of my machine, let me know.

Hi,

Thanks for the report. Can you attempt this with the network disabled? (Just for the ubiquity portion). It appears it was trying to contact archive.ubuntu.com during installation of fglrx's driver, but that is also cached on the CD.

Unfortunately it still crashed (this time at 96%) with no network plugged in. Do you want a new copy of the files?

Yes, please.

Thanks a lot for catching this last minute.

It should be fixed in the following ISO image thanks to your report: http://uk.cdimages.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu-7.10-i386.iso

Can you verify?

Do you have a 64 bit version that I can try? All the above was done using the 64 bit version of mythbuntu 7.10rc.

Not yet. Generating the 64 bit image is more troublesome, so wanted to make sure this worked before doing so.

Boot the RC and grab this package: http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubiquity/ubiquity-frontend-mythbuntu_1.6.8+mythbuntu4_all.deb

Install that and you should have the fix integrated. Run ubiquity and see if that works out for you.

Works fine. Thanks :-)

Role on mythbuntu 7.10 final.

ubiquity (1.7.0) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Divert gtk frontend .desktop file and logo to a better location
    so that it isn't improperly sourced by Xfce.
  * Properly execute mythbuntu frontend from .desktop file.
  * Set default mythtv theme on all installs to be mythtv-theme-mythbuntu.
  * Fix a few typos preventing xmltv from being installed.
  * Launch mythtv-setup.real in a terminal window allowing xmltv
    to be used during it.
  * Fix typo preventing mysql service from activating.
  * Fail more gracefully if we can't do aticonfig.
  * Add apt-cdrom to target system for mythbuntu to work around
    apt-setup not working in ubiquity-mythbuntu. (LP: #154732)

  [ Michael Haas ]
  * Force LC_CTYPE as a temporary workaround for locale issues
    when writing out VNC. (LP: #149935, #150029)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix ubiquity-frontend-* and ubiquity-artwork-* virtual package name
    generation to handle ~ in versions.
  * Add an intro message noting that we're alpha again.
  * Adjust for localechooser 1.40:
    - Cope with localechooser asking countrychooser/country-name rather than
      countrychooser/shortlist.
  * Remove the pregenerated snakeoil certificate and reconfigure ssl-cert so
    that each system gets a unique snakeoil certificate.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Removed the somewhat confusing reminder to remove the CD from the reboot
    dialog. Casper handles telling the user this at the right moment via
    a final usplash message. (LP: #70088)
