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

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD) or
with your hardware.  Please retry your installation with new media and
if it still fails I'd recommend testing your CD drive with other media.
In the event that is is not in fact an error with your installation
media or hardware please set the bug's status back to New.  Thanks and
good luck!

Title:
  Ubuntu 10.10 installer gives Errno 5.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
  Ubuntu 10.10 ad64 desktop.

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  ubiquity:
    Installed: 2.4.8
    Candidate: 2.4.8
    Version table:
   *** 2.4.8 0
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  
  3) What you expected to happen
  Functional multimedia infotainment platform.

  4) What happened instead
  Uninteresting plastic sculpture.

  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.
