[Bug 664343] Re: unable to install mdadm on a live USB ubuntu, aim : recover with live boot a RAID0 crash

[melchiaros]

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 10.10 reached End Of Live on April 10, 2012.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

I have tried to reproduce with the latest developer version, but could
not. Installation and removing works fine there for me.

Please upgrade to the latest version(12.04) and re-test. If the bug is
still reproducable, increase the verbosity of the steps to recreate it
so we can try again.

Do feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

----------------------------------------------------------

Howto:

Look at the "software sources" of your system. There should under the
menu point "actualization" some entries about notifications.

Set them all to the shortest times available. The last entrie there
should be something like notify about newer ubuntu versions.

Apply this changes and reload your package sources : e.g synaptic relaod
or update manager(Software updates).

You should after this get a notification(try a bit arround until the
sytem recognize) about a release upgrade from the update-manager(may be
called Software updates).

Run this.

!Make first a backup of your system!(e.g. dejadub)

The upgrades has become more and more stable in the last years, but the
procedure is a complicated one for the software and may under
circumstances render your system unbootable.

The whole upgrade may take some hours.

Good luck!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please iterate this until you have reached the actual version
Ubuntu12.04.
