The "draklive-install" program crashed. Drakbug-18.37 caught it.

Installing from the  Mageia-8-beta2-Live-Xfce-i586.iso in a vb guest with just 512 MB ram.


update-grub2 failed:  at /usr/lib/libDrakX/any.pm line 706.

This was encountered while confirming bug 27872.

Dave, you did not say much about how you were installing, especially with relation to that other bug. It is not the same error; but would it happen if you upped the VM memory to 768Mb?

This was selecting install from the boot menu. With 768MB, it finishes ok.
I'll close this bug as fixed, as I've now asked atelier to modify
https://www.mageia.org/en/support/ to indicate 768MB is required for live iso
installs.

I normally give each vb guest 4GB ram, so would normally never have encountered
this bug.
