Do you have problems with migration-assistant?

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

I tried to install Ubuntu 8.04 in my brother’s computer, but the installer crashes everytime. So when I looked carefully the logs I realized the problem was the migration-assitant. Since the last version(I think!), to reduce the instalation steps, ubiquity doesn’t have anymore a gui option to disable the migration-assistant.

If you have problems with migration-assistant like me and you don’t wish download the alternate version, just run the follow command on a Live CD terminal:

sudo ubiquity –no-migration-assistant

Don’t forget send the bug report about it.

My workstation:

[licio@licio ~]$ history | awk ‘{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’|sort -rn|head
322 ssh
96 cd
86 ls
75 telnet
55 exit
41 scp
35 dig
28 wget
25 ping
24 vim

Yes, how can you see, I’m still  using telnet, I’ve got some old servers running aix and sun os.
