Title:
Kubuntu manual install crashed during bootloader configuration with
Python stacktrace
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Reported error was "ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base
10: '' " - a very old Ubiquity bug 42774 has same message but stack
trace was completely different at a different point.
Cause:
1. Start Kubuntu CD, select 'Install' from the CD menu
2. Do a manual partition. Drive has NTFS XP at sda2 with a rescue NTFS at sda1 and 40GB free space
3. Added 12G XFS partition at sda5 and swap at sda6
4. Set to install bootloader to sda5
5. Installer progressed and copied files then died with the following stack trace on the 'Configuring Bootloader' screen
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 524, in <module>
main(oem_config)
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 511, in main

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/debconf.py", line 65, in <lambda>

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/debconf.py", line 86, in command
status = int(status)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
Digression: I should have made /boot at sda3 primary partition which would have allowed me to copy the first 512 bytes of sda3 to a bin file to chain from the XP bootloader.
