When I install kde neon 5.12.4.I get a error: Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda2 failed. This is a fatal error. I have a 500 GB hdd. Made a 4 gb swap and the other space ext 4 mounted in / I changed my bios to EUFI and turned my eufi secured boot off. I didn't get an error report, or i cant find it. How can I fix this?
Grub-Installation ISSUE Kubuntu 18.04 - 64 BIG BUG in the KDE / Kubuntu Installation-Program Did I post these BUGs on the right forum or not!?? - This are real bugs in the KUBUNTU-Implementation of the installation program! - Since I want to have an actual operating system with full bug actualisations i tried the same procedure with the same version of UBUNTU 18.04 - and miracle - THERE the installation succeeded!!! - Neverteless ALL the LVM inconvenients and bugs are very similar -but at least the writing of the boot-record and the GRUB-Installation WORKED!!! Its really a pitty that the KUBUNTU-Team cant provide a LVM running installation! - with two LVM-used disks...!?? - And I would like it so much to get Kubuntu, because I hate the gnome environment and behaviour!! - Could anybody forward these posts to any developer who could resolve the problems!?? - will the resolving be part of any Release-note remark???:rip: thanks a lot anybody ######### The installation-routine of 18.04 LTS 64 bit seems quite buggy! - at least with a new 500 GB Samsung SSD-drive The drive was well recognied by the bios and also by linux and it was possible to manage it by gparted. I have a "old" raid-system in the PC which is also configured by LVM2 I tried to install in several kinds. 1.) manually - there was the problem, that in the lvm-configuration it is actually NOT POSSIBLE to give an specific lv-name to each lv - any changement seems also not possible - so the LVs are numerated notoriously from 1 to n - what is often not helpfully - when I also put the configuration on and start the installation - then the programm rubs without any question the Swap-partition of the OLD RAID-lvm !!! This is not very usefull since the Raid will be much slower than the SSD - and just I want to speed up the system! After installation there is the message that the grub-installation failed since it could not write to /dev/sda however the SSD has /dev/sdb THIS issue cames also in the automatical installation! Other issue: configuring first all LV with mountpoint and changing later it to set the format-option makes crashing the programm - when there is any LVM-partition it seems not possible to remove/delete it! - in the same way it is not possible to delete any partition in relation to an LV! or VG - - to make such changes seems not possible...! DOES the programmer of this nice prog have any real experience with LVM!??? 2.) automatical installation with LVM in my whole desesperation I tried now the automatical (guided) LVM - installation - but here the grub-installation fails in the SAME WAY! However I tried some howto - how to install or repair grub-install - but even this dont works as promised and fails with mount-issues - Also grub-setup ist not available! How shall I change to the new Kubuntu, when it is even not possible to realize a simple installation!??? ??????:-\ How can I now install the actual kubuntu 18.04 LTS!??? Some tests with the LVM-Options enabled with the installation programm... seems strongly recommended! see also: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php/73495-Grub-Installation-ISSUE?goto=newpost
