Summary of test failures

Kubuntu Desktop amd64 - Install (auto-resize)

Tester's comment:

Kubuntu Desktop amd64 - Live Session

LP: 580918 - video error - Confirmed - Undecided

Tester's comment: Case ID dls-001 dls-002: is OK, but there is a problem.

Kubuntu Desktop i386 - Install (auto-resize)

LP: 628864 - "Guided" install does no guiding and wipes out existing install without warning - Triaged - Critical
LP: 628897 - Auto resize install option missing for KDE ubiquity - New - High

Tester's comment: Using for both guided and auto resize since the test case for guided is missing.

Guided passes with 628864. IMO this should be a release blocker, but up to Riddell to decide.

Autoresize fails since it's missing. That's 628897.

Ubuntu Alternate amd64 - Install (entire disk)

LP: 627495 - kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.35/drivers/md/dm.c:2190! - New - Undecided

LP: 600578 - Installer drops into grub shell after rebooting from Windows - Fix Released - Critical

Upgrade Ubuntu amd64 - Upgrade

LP: 628264 - update-initramfs fails due iscan - Invalid - Undecided
LP: 629162 - nVidia drivers in Maverick do not work due to ABI level - New - Undecided

Tester's comment: have to mark this failed due to 629162. I had no working X after fixing 628264 (which was due to iscan). The nVidia drivers for Maverick are downlevel and do not support the newer ABI, thus, you get no graphics at all after upgrading Lucid -> Maverick.

Upgrade Ubuntu i386 - Upgrade

LP: 628349 - Wubi upgrade to maverick beta fails to boot - Invalid - Undecided
LP: 610898 - "No such device" - grub-pc update renders computer unbootable - Confirmed - Undecided

Tester's comment: Upgrade failed using wubi.

1. It installed grub to my MBR due to user error. Computer wouldn't boot windows or Ubuntu. Repairing bootloader makes computer bootable.

2. Wubi still fails to boot.

Error: unknown command: loadfont

Error: unknown command: gfxterm

...

Error: file not found

Reboots

1. Installed wubi 10.04.1 on drive E: (fat32) with a 5GB install.

2. Ran updates

3. Checked for more updates - none

4. Ran 'update-manager -d -c'

5. Update manager showed "New Ubuntu release '10.10' is available"

6. Click on Upgrade

7. Showed Release notes "This is a ALPHA release. Do not install it on production machines"

8. Clicked on upgrade

prompted to download 510MB of data etc. clicked to proceed

Getting new packages - 1053 files downloaded.

9. Installed grub bootloader:

=============================

Eventually a screen popped up:

Title: Debconf on ubuntu

Banner: Configuring grub-pc

Checkbox: Continue without installing GRUB?

Button: Help

I clicked on Help:

You chose not to install GRUB to any devices. If you continue the boot loader may not be properly configured and when your computer next starts up it will use whatever was previously in the boot sector. If there is an earlier version of GRUB 2 in the boot sector, it may be unable to load modules or handle the current configuration file.

If you are already running a different boot loader and want to carry on doing so, or if this is a special environment where you do not need a boot loader, then you should continue anyway. Otherwise you should install GRUB somewhere.

Button: Close

I clicked Forward

it presented three options

/dev/sda (78518MB, ST98823AS)

/dev/sdb (100256 MB, OneTouch_II)

/dev/loop0 (1472MB, ???

Since I don't know what a boot loader or boot sector is, so I selected /dev/sda (my internal drive) and hit forward. Now my computer won't boot. No such device.

Bootinfoscript reports: Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #256 for /boot/grub

10. Repaired drive MBR

======================

Reinstalled correct bootloader

11. Rebooted

============

Wubi install will not boot due to unknown commands and file not found.
