[Bug 1286743] Re: Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 on sdc (USB-Pendrive): installer crashed

[wgroiss]

I think, duplicate status is wrong. Why?
I tried the same constellation as in bug description on older hardware (Toshiba Notebook, Pentium III, Celeron, 1,73 GHz, 32bit) and BIOS (no UEFI possible!). Live System 14.04 on sdb, empty pendrive on sdc. Manually partitioning, mount point "/" to sdb1, Bootloader manually to sdb.
And i took now Trusty 14.04 32bit with fresh download (the first time at 2014-03-02 i took a beta/daily build).
But at the end of installation i got the same bug: (i try to translate from german)
"An attempt to configure apt went wrong, to download more packages from CD".
Then installation ends => Suggestion to reboot from new system on pendrive => But it fails, because bootloader can't be found.

When i do the same thing with LINUX MINT DEBIAN => everything works (also on different hardware).
I also tried with older ubuntu (12.04 LTS), but got same bug! I also tried with Live System from DVD (instead of USB-Pendrive) => same bug.
So i am sorry: my only work around is, not to take ubuntu ....
