SV: SV: Bug noted for Ubuntu 9.10 when changing boot order

[Kurt Poulsen]

Hello again

Thank you for the input, I will study it closely and see what I can find.
However I delivered the machines on Saturday for packing to it's destination
- a hospital in Romania - but I have still a machine where I can do
experiments.
The installation was quite straight forward as I downloaded an iso from the
Ubuntu homepage and burned a CD. Then I followed the graphical instructions
about chosing installation language (English) destination (Bucharest) and
Keyboard (Danish) folled by using the entire harddisk. Then I installed all
the updates and chosed additional languages (German and Rumania) changed to
24hours clock readout.
As I have 25 PC's as platform and did see the problem on 6 out of 10
selected for a final quality test it is not just an Single "UPS" be.
I am a little "in pain" on time right now but will do my best to find more
details about the case - meaning why and how it happens more specific.

Kind regards

Kurt

Please bottom post on this list. Thanks :-0

Ubuntu uses launchpad to report bugs. Here are a few links you may find
useful:

Ubiquity is the package used in the liveCD install CD/DVD.

Given that you had issues installing 9.10 to 25 machines, I am wondering
exactly how you did these installs. Can you please detail?
Your answer will be helpful in determining if the issue is with Ubiquity
(liveCD/DVD), the AlternateCD, or some other installation method.

I also wonder about:

I see no reason why installing 9.10 on your machines, removing the
power, and then finding your bios reverting to default would be an issue
with 9.10. I suspect that the issue might be with the
machines/environment. Again, if you can provide additional details then
perhaps someone can help you further (including filing a bug report).

In the interim, you might also want to have a look at these to see if
you can spot a similar bug report/issue:

https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=Lenovo+ThinkCentre
<https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=Lenovo+ThinkCentre+%2B9.10&field.a
ctions.search=Search>
<https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=Lenovo+ThinkCentre+%2Bkarmic&field
.actions.search=Search>

https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=NetVista
Note: you can do similar searches on NetVista for '9.10' and 'karmic' in
the same way I did it for ThinkCentre.
  The searches pretty much are the same as google (as are the
help.ubuntu.com searches), to you can try to narrow the search down to
something more specific. However, in order for anyone on this list to
assist further you'll need to provide more details.
