[Bug 738530] Re: Ubuntu 10.10 installer gives Errno 5.

[supermanikin]

I also have this problem with the installing Ubuntu 11.04 on my computer
with wubi.

On around tens of times I tried to install, only 2 times the error did
not happen. I do not know why. Same as Soybean, my computer works well
and I have tried disk tests. This computer can install Ubuntu 9.10,
10.04 and 10.10 normally without any problems. This is the first time I
get this problem. However, I still winder why 2 times the installation
is done normally.

This error happened to me the first time and it is quite confusing while
trying to install the new Ubuntu.

  How do I attach multiple files so you get both syslog and partman?

  This seems to be a particularly irritating bug that's never been fixed
  in the three or more years it's been known. The only workarounds
  people seem to have found is slow burning the Live CD or pulling out
  one of your RAM sticks. I've tried both and it hasn't fixed the
  problem.

  Now the problem has inexplicably struck  my system I've discovered the
  bug has legacy! I now can't install older version of Ubuntu or Mint
  without getting Errno 5 during the installation. It always appears at
  the same point in each installation - so 55% on Mint 9, a few minutes
  on Ubuntu 10.10, 25% or so on Mint 10, etc.
