I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 from the alternate iso by USB stick. I'm using a normal harddisk with a btrfs root, and an ext4 on LVM /home, but no LUKS.
The install fails at 'Select and install software'. Inspection of syslog shows that linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic fails to install, because dpkg reports a disk-full error when extracting the package. To narrow down the problem, I did the following in a shell in the installer environment: > chroot /target bash > cd /media/cdrom/pool/main/l/linux > dpkg -i linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic_3.0.0-12.20_amd64.deb <dpkg gives an error indicating a disk-full while extracting the .deb> I then tried generating more debug info: > dpkg -i -D10 linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic_3.0.0-12.20_amd64.deb > 2>/tmp/dpkgout And now suddenly it worked. I did the same with linux- headers-3.0.0-12_3.0.0-12.20_all.deb because I thought that was the one I really needed, with the same results: it failed first but worked with the -D10 flag. I then did a 'apt-get -f install' (which previously failed with the same disk full error from dpkg) which now worked. After that I coundn't reproduce the dpkg error, but I didn't try forcefully removing the headers packages so as not to cause more problems, so I don't have the exact console output from dpkg. I restarted the system install at 'install base system', and after that 'select and install software' also worked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873409 Title: Ubuntu 11.10 luks+lvm+btrfs install fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/873409/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
