Ubiquity Installer not working

[gity-up]

The "Install" launcher within the Live Session does not work. Should it? If my OS ever became UN-bootable I would love to be able to reinstall it from my ISO file using the live session ubiquity GUI.

When I try running the command that the "Install" launcher would run from a terminal (sh -c 'ubiquity gtk_ui') I get this error:

The value for the SHELL variable was not found the /etc/shells file

This incident has been reported. (twice) 😄 because now YOU know.

Thanks in advance.

Update: Pretty sure this repo is unmaintained now. Been 2 months with no response. Script still works (mostly). Going to go experiment with a project called Systemback.

I had a similar problem, except the Ubiquity installer icon does not even show!

yeah sorry bud, i think this project is dead for now. if you haven't already, you should check out a distro called manjaro, they're cooking up some pretty neat stuff. zorin is another tight project too. happy new year.

Thanks for the reply, The smell or corpses were pickup up when I was at the door. Are these two recommendations Ubuntu-based? At the moment, I'm comfortable with Ubuntu-based OSs. Again, thanks.

This is still an issue in an otherwise incredible piece of software. Anyone know know a work around?? I have successfully created the .iso of my OS and any means of installing it would be just fine! Please let me know!
