Installation issues / Re: 710RC2 CD Caching Issue

« on: June 16, 2008, 07:28:09 am »

Changing the mirror seemed to get further for me, but then the mirror threw up an error. All the other mirrors I tried gave me the caching issue. I'll go through a few more and see if it helps, also I'll burn off the CDs as well as trying to mount them as virtual drives. If I can get through it like you did I'll change this to solved.

Installation issues / Re: 710RC2 CD Caching Issue

« on: June 15, 2008, 10:18:26 am »

MD5sums are perfect, and I've had the same issue with multiple downloads. All ISOs are on the hard-drive -- the same physical drive as being installed on -- and different partitions all give the same error. I'm following the instructions from the Wiki for installing from CD images on the hard-drive (the same as the post referenced, but without using a disc in the beginning).

Code: [Select]

It stays like the above for a little while, then throws up a few more lines and quits before I get a chance to copy them down, giving me the error 'Could not cache LMCE CD1'. The logs are still all the same, except for one which was different because I chose a bad mirror:

Installation issues / 710RC2 CD Caching Issue

« on: June 14, 2008, 06:19:50 am »

Hi there,

I've been trying to install LinuxMCE 710 RC2 from CDs for a little while now, to no avail. Installation from DVD works fine, but I'm not a big fan of the Kubuntu setup it uses. I've installed Kubuntu 710 from the LiveCD, made sure the settings (primarily WiFi) are right, and went to install LMCE from the CDs following the installation instructions on the Wiki. However I always come up with the error "Could not cache LMCE CD 1". There is plenty of space (160GB), I've made sure there are full permissions on all of the ISOs, and still it doesn't work. I've included the log, hopefully someone here will have an idea of what I can do.

Code: [Select]

/usr/pluto/deb-cache /tmp/selfextract.JJ6207
Use of uninitialized value in require at controllib.pl line 13.
Use of uninitialized value in require at controllib.pl line 13.
Can't locate dpkg-gettext.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl . /usr/lib/dpkg ) at controllib.pl line 13.
Compilation failed in require at ./dpkg-scanpackages line 15.
I have four logs from four different installation attempts and they are all identical, apart from the selfextract suffix. There's quite possibly something obvious staring everyone in the face (missing package, maybe?), but I don't know enough about it to figure it out.

Cheers for your help.
