Hi Mario,
That's an Ubuntu bug on Ubuntu which has been fixed recently in Ubuntu.
Ubuntu does things differently - I can't give you any advice for fixing
Ubuntu beyond a good guess.
Which machine is this - maker?
Can you give more details of _which_ Debian installer you used - i386 / amd64?
How recently did you install?
Did the machine fail to boot immediately?
If you try to mix Debian and Ubuntu packages, we cannot help you reliably -
see https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
It would also have been helpful if you could have started a new thread -
this is a different subject from the original.
With every good wish, as ever,
Andy Cater
