[opensuse] Error occurred while creating the catalog - Unknown error: unable to copy media directory
Hi all Yesterday I was trying to update my Suse 9.3 to openSuse 10.2 installation with a DVD burned image. Just after clicked on "update" (but it happens also when clicking on "installation") I got the following error: "Error occurred while creating the catalog. cd://?devices=/dev/hdc,/dev/hdd Unknown error: unable to copy media directory to /var/tmp/TmpDir.j4jPSa/MEDIA" After 2 dvds burned, I found this: http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=27392 but I was anyway unable to get a succesful installation with a 3rd DVD burned at 2X. Any help would be very appreciated :) rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

- similar has frequently occured here - sometimes x10 in row . . . open the drawer - turn the disk around a bit - try again . . . & again :) cheers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Did you test the DVD with Yast Check Media? It may be the drive in the machine you are updating does not like the media (assuming you burned all those DVDs with the same brand of media). You could try a different brand media. My experience has been if the media check passes, it works. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I got that error repeatedly when trying to install 10.2. After downloading the iso twice from 2 different locations, I gave up and ordered it from Linux Central. Strange, since any other distro I download seems to work on the first try. This includes Mepis, Kubuntu, Mandriva, and Fedora.
