[Bug 2024970] Re: Installer crashed when almost complete

[Jack Ostroff]

It looks like /var/log/partman did get uploaded.

Note /dev/sda was the install USB thumb drive, /dev/sdc was the target
drive (1TB HDD).  /dev/sdb is the old failed drive in the PC, and was
intermittently generating plenty of read errors.

Title:
  Installer crashed when almost complete

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installer (kubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso, downloaded July 2022)
  crashed when almost done.  Progress bar said something like checking
  filesystems 90%.  It had already removed all unneeded packages (did
  minimal install [not from minimal iso]).  Problem in that I couldn't
  get a console from the main installer screen (or just didn't know how)
  so tried to send but from Ctl-Alt-F2 console, but that obviously
  failed to launch a brower.  Eventually the installer finished/crashed
  (?) and put me in live mode, so I redid the report.  Hopefully it's
  not a duplicate.  Until I reboot, I won't know if the install got far
  enough to use the system or if I need to start from scratch.  I also
  can't tell if ubuntu-bug actually uploaded anything or not, and this
  reporting only allows a single attachment, so hopefully I can upload
  /var/log/partman later.  However, I had pre-partitioned and root was
  /var/log/vgo1-lv_root and /boot was /dev/sdc1.  At this point, /target
  has been unmounted (by the installer, not by me)

  This is an old box pre UEFI.
