Installation issues / Re: Could not cache LMCE CD 2

« on: April 10, 2008, 08:34:59 pm »

So, what else would you suggest to get a LinuxMCE run as a DomU in Xen? If I want to use some Hardware (like the DVB-C PCI card) with LinuxMCE, I need to use a paravirtualized machine, so I cannot simply put in the Kubuntu CD and run this nice graphical installation. I need to use bootstrap instead and afterwards upgrade it to a complete Kubuntu system. It would be more helpful to know why the installation script can not write to the tmp directory.
btw... how does a log file look like after a successful installation?

Installation issues / Re: Could not cache LMCE CD 2

After the debootstrap there is neither X nor the KDE desktop installed yet, though it is required for the graphical installation wizard. I followed the installation instructions perfectly... after I installed Kubuntu ;-)
And of course I had already checked the MD5 sums before I started with the installation procedure.

Installation issues / Could not cache LMCE CD 2

« on: April 10, 2008, 02:26:32 pm »

I tried to install a 64 bit LinuxMCE on a 64 bit Xen machine as a DomU. So I did a debootstrap of Kubuntu 7.10 and updated to kernel 2.6.22-14-xen. After some apt-gets (including kubuntu-desktop) and installing mce-installer, I launched dolphin via SSH X-forwarding the clicked the mce-installer.desktop symbol. After having told the installation wizard that I want a dedicated core system with a DHCP server, I selected the iso-images of LinuxMCE Disk 1, Disk 2 and Kubuntu 7.10. However, during the installation the system comes up with an error message telling me that the installation failed.

Here is an excerpt from the log file:

ERROR : Could not cache LMCE CD 2

After the installation has canceled, the directory /tmp/tmp.mSRKz22879 is empty, is not Read-only and apparently the cachecd1-cache directory has been removed:

Code: [Select]

Does anyone has an idea why the installation script cannot remove the packages? Why does the script try to unmount /tmp/tmp.mSRKz22879 during the attempts? Are the repeat-ignore entries usual? Is it usual that these messages starting with "/usr/pluto/deb-cache /tmp/selfextract.Zw6755" occur twice in the logfile? Why could CD 2 not be cached?

Can anyone help me with this issue? Some solutions or hints?
