Re: installation on Ubuntu 18.04

Bruno,

Sorry it has taken me so long to get around to working with this.  This is
a work computer and I needed a quiet time where I could take a change on
the 20.04 upgrade and have time to restore.

Today I tried to create my backup.  I modified the mindi.conf file to load
the nvme driver (FORCE_MODS=nvme) on restore as that is needed for my main
(SSD) drive.
I got an error during my attempt.  This is what I am seeing is:







*-----------------------------------INFO: Found ldlinux.c32 at
/usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/ldlinux.c32FATAL ERROR. Please install
syslinux.efi first. If your syslinux RPM doesn't include syslinux.efi, you
may download an syslinux RPM from Mondo's website - go to
http://www.mondorescue.org/downloads.shtml
<http://www.mondorescue.org/downloads.shtml>Please e-mail a copy of
/var/log/mindi.log to the mailing list.See http://www.mondorescue.org
<http://www.mondorescue.org> for more information.WE CANNOT HELP unless you
enclose that file.*

I did some googling and did not see a solution.  I am attaching my log
file.  I hope you can help as I really want a clone of my current system
before I upgrade so I can quickly return to a working state if the 20.04
upgrade goes bad.

regards,
Rich Taylor
