[Bug 136444] Re: Kubuntu install failed: "Read-only file system: '/target/usr/share/locale-langpack/nl/LC_MESSAGES'"

[Richard Johnson]

Seeing as this is more than 4 years old, and nobody else has commented
on this, nor marked duplicates, I am going to close the report. If you
think this is still an issue (which I couldn't even attempt to
reproduce, as there isn't NTFS anywhere near my house), please reopen
this report with further information. Thank you! Sorry it took someone
so long to comment on this report.

  I've looked at many other reports with nearly identical error
  messages, but none have had my second error message afterwards.  In
  case it helps, this is how the error occurred:  I installed Kubuntu
  6.06 on the first of two HD's in my system, manually partitioning; the
  second drive I left with one NTFS partition.  The drive failed (rather
  catastrophically), so I decided to reinstall Kubuntu on the second
  drive, eliminating the NTFS partition.  During the partitioning step
  in installation, I noticed that the first (crashed) drive showed an
  empty table (not unpartitioned, not an empty partition, but NO TABLE)!
  I could not modify this first drive in any way.  So, I continued with
  the partitioning of the second drive and install.  Near the end of
  copying files, the above error report appeared.  Please tell me I
  didn't just lose the second drive as well!
