[Bug 985066] Re: Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 installer fails when copying files

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

I had one more idea to try out - burn the iso onto a DVD-R and see what
happened.

Turns out that it fails just like the CD-R version.

My next idea is to wait for 12.04 to appear on Linux Format's DVD and see
if that works!

Despite trying every BIOS USB boot option on both USB ports, my generic PC
failed to boot from USB. So I'm quite keen to hear what Canonical have to
say about the subject.

TTFN,


Ian

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 installer fails when copying files

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This bug was found on a generic 1.3GHz Celeron PC with 512MB RAM using
  an Ubuntu 12.04 beta CDR. It used to be my main PC - it worked OK then
  and worked with earlier releases of Ubuntu Linux.

  When installing this version of Linux, the installer comes to a halt
  with this message:-

  Installer failed.
  The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again.

  Story so far:-
  * Took 2 attempts to burn the CDR (1st disk was a cheap disk, 2nd was a Samsung disk).
  * 1st attempt to install got the above mentioned error message.
  * Rebooted and used the option to check the files on the CDR were OK. Test passed successfully.
  * Tried install - same result as the first attempt.
  * Rebooted & used the memtest86 option. Test passed successfully.
