[opensuse] Tumbleweed installer broken?
Hi, I have tried to install Tumbleweed on a virtualbox for last 2 days and the installer fails on unarchiving few packages. Seems like a broken ISO file. Are Tumbleweed ISO's created daily? Should I just wait for few more days for the ISO to be fixed? Thanks, Amish. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

did you compare the checksum to determine you had a good dl? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Confirming. SHA256 sum matches, but the installer gives error on installing packages. I have tried installing GNOME, KDE and LXDE in seperate attempts but there are multiple packages that fail to install. Something is not accurate about the Tumbleweed ISO file.

You haven't described your installation procedure. Are you loop mounting the file, creating a USB stick or burning a physical DVD? Can you share some error message samples? Thx!

I am attaching the downloaded ISO to a VirtualBox instance. Tried to
download it again today and the download location is
sfo-korg-mirror.kernel.org/opensuse/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170524-Media.iso
The error duing installation of packages is
----------
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed
on file /usr/share/doc/packages/kernel-firmware/LICENCE.qla2xxx: cpio:
rename error: kernel-firmware-20170511-1.1.noarch: install failed
----------
GPG signatues seems to be good.

That looks like an actual error. There is no reason a rename of a license tmp file should fail (unless they added a new "Agree with License" check that is causing it to fail). Does it always fail at the same point? (if you have used reasonable defaults to setup the guest in vbox, that should all be fine from a memory/disk space standpoint)

The checksum is the important compare... <snip>

(that's all good) I'm not aware of anything kernel-firmware specific that would cause problems absent some new "agree with license" nonsense what wasn't handled by the TW installer. I would ask for any confirmation here on TW install problems, if so, you can add that info to a bug report. I'd go ahead and file one. You will need to include all version numbers for your host OS, vbox version and a concise description if exactly how you are attaching the .iso as your dvd-drive in vbox (usually you just select it). Make sure you include the type of virtual disk controller you configured in vbox (generally sata) and provide as much detail as you can. http://bugzilla.opensuse.org -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

It happens to me a lot. The reason is that the file is often present on two different directories, and the installation tries to conserve space by doing one a hardlink. This is normally just fine, but some of us have several mounts and it may happen that both directories are on different partitions, and thus the hardlink fails. IMHO there should be an rpm creation check to warn against hardlinks and replace with symlinks or real copies. This is detected by running the installation of the single failed package from the "rpm" command in verbose mode, and further, tracing it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
