debian-installer does not find kernel

Also attaching partman which I got through the option in debian installer to start web server for debugging for logs.

This bug has been reported on the Ubuntu ISO testing tracker.

A list of all reports related to this bug can be found here:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/bugs/1380774

could you provide /etc/apt/sources.list from the cd please?

well, i can confirm this on Lubuntu i386 alternate 20141013. i can't seem to find /etc/apt/sources.list. seems the iso isn't that simple :)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

OP has confirmed with Lubuntu amd64 alternate 20141013 on iso tracker:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/315/builds/81754/testcases/1437/results

on the alt installer I cannot find that directory.

aaaand i have now confirmed on Ubuntu Server i386 20141013

I see it too in the 2014-10-13 Alternate PPC image, so it is not just an i386 problem.

I confirm it in the 2014-10-13 alternate Lubuntu PPC image on the PS3.

Just to make this machine readable, the error is in installing the base system:

No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources.

You may try to continue without a kernel, and manually install your
own kernel later. This is only recommended for experts, otherwise you
will likely end up with a machine that doesn't boot.

btw, the busybox shell doesn't allow for typical apport collection.

same issue with today's image, btw.

also this happens around 80-90% of the base system install process.

Just to confirm that my ISO dated 10th October for lubuntu alternate AMD64 installs fine (as did my i368 alternate).

fixed upstream. please pull down the latest apt and we should be good to go.

Fixed upstream https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765458

As a tester I have a pile of partitions with lubuntu, ubuntu various levels, windows7, plus experimenting with Mate, debian lxde and Google 3.12 on built in hard drive and external USB solid state drive.

I set up my partitions for testing the way I want with Gparted.

Manual install of Lubuntu 2014/10/16 booting the iso from hard drive went exactly cookbook nothing unexpected.

BTW, wide screen 1368x768 external monitor the lubuntu panel is on left side like "unhidden" unity giving me more vertical lines than the way unity usually sets up. Lubuntu has noticeably more snap than Unity on this Intel Atom 1.66 gHz duo 2 gb.

Since this bug renders the system temporarily or permanently unusable, it has a priority of "critical".

How long until incorporation and the server edition and lubuntu alternates
being re-spun?

Regards,
Phill.

There has been a new upload of apt to utopic that should resolve this issue.

Could somebody please test using that version of apt?

Brian, if wxl (release manager lubuntu) requests a respin of the alternate ISO's will it pick up the new apt?

Regards,

Phill.

I'd think so but you'd be better off asking a release team member.

the BusyBox prompt offers no access to apt/dpkg tools, at least not that i'm aware of. unfortunately, the whole d-i process is kind of a mystery to me. so i'm not sure what to do as far as testing in situ is concerned.

as soon as d-i is rebuilt, i'll get Lubuntu Alternate images rebuilt so we can test with the new apt on the image already. hopefully the release manager for Ubuntu Server can get the same going on.

i encourage everyone to check the .list file for /pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.0.9.2ubuntu2_*.deb before you test e.g. you can see with the old one (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily/20141016/utopic-alternate-i386.list) that it's 1.09.2ubuntu1 that's listed. you don't want that. don't bother testing it. needless to say, it will be 20141017 you need!

ok according to `rmadison apt`, the new apt is indeed in the repos, so a rebuild off the tracker will pull it in. that being said, i'm rebuilding now.

20141017.1 is now ready for you!

note 20141017 Ubuntu Server does NOT have the right version of apt.

fix is confirmed in 20141017.1!

Well done guys and gals. A late show-stopper resolved :)
