Public bug reported: I choose to install Ubuntu 9.04 inside Windows XP Home. My notebook is Samsung Q20.
The process ends with an error "Invalid argument" and then close without any prompt. I reboot and system boots Windows XP only, no other booting choice. Here is the error log in C:\Temp: 05-17 00:43 DEBUG TaskList: ## Running copy_installation_files... 05-17 00:43 DEBUG WindowsBackend: Copying C:\Temp\pyl6B.tmp\data\custom-installation -> C:\ubuntu\install\custom-installation 05-17 00:43 DEBUG WindowsBackend: Copying C:\Temp\pyl6B.tmp\winboot -> C:\ubuntu\winboot 05-17 00:43 DEBUG WindowsBackend: Copying C:\Temp\pyl6B.tmp\data\images\Ubuntu.ico -> C:\ubuntu\Ubuntu.ico 05-17 00:43 DEBUG TaskList: ## Finished copy_installation_files 05-17 00:43 DEBUG TaskList: ## Running get_iso... 05-17 00:43 DEBUG TaskList: New task copy_file 05-17 00:43 DEBUG TaskList: ### Running copy_file... 05-17 00:48 DEBUG TaskList: ### Finished copy_file 05-17 00:48 ERROR TaskList: [Errno 22] Invalid argument Traceback (most recent call last): File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\backends\common\tasklist.py", line 196, in __call__ File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\backends\common\utils.py", line 206, in copy_file IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument 05-17 00:48 DEBUG TaskList: # Cancelling tasklist 05-17 00:48 ERROR root: [Errno 22] Invalid argument Traceback (most recent call last): File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\application.py", line 55, in run File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\application.py", line 125, in select_task File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\application.py", line 193, in run_cd_menu File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\application.py", line 117, in select_task File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\application.py", line 155, in run_installer File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\frontends\win32\frontend.py", line 137, in run_tasks IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument 05-17 00:48 DEBUG TaskList: New task check_iso 05-17 00:48 DEBUG CommonBackend: Searching for local ISO 05-17 00:48 DEBUG CommonBackend: Could not find any ISO or CD, downloading one now 05-17 00:48 DEBUG TaskList: New task get_metalink 05-17 00:48 ERROR TaskList: Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO Traceback (most recent call last): File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\backends\common\tasklist.py", line 196, in __call__ File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\backends\common\backend.py", line 482, in get_iso File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\backends\common\backend.py", line 326, in download_iso Exception: Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO 05-17 00:48 DEBUG TaskList: # Cancelling tasklist 05-17 00:48 DEBUG TaskList: # Finished tasklist ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Invalid argument] when installing in Samsung Q20 notebook. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
