Comment 27 for bug 403408

I also confirm that the error appears after a clean install, no OS on the disk. This is a awful experience for newcomers. I have three windows machines, and two macs, and was hoping (and excited) about using Ubuntu, specially 9.10 Karmic Koala. This bug/error is terribly frustrating and even though Google is my friend, none of the solutions that I found could resolve my "error: no such device" issue... karmic koala fail?
