[SOLVED]Error during "Install packages"

Was really hoping it'd be a long time before I had to come here for help (my first Linux install), but...
I'm having trouble with the installation. The first clue is when I'm preparing the hard drive:
After manually configuring the block devices, filesystems and mountpoints, there's a "Mount" window saying "Error mounting /dev/sdb4 on /mnt/home", likewise for var and /, but otherwise completes successfully.
Then, during package installation, every single package fails:
e.g. "warning: warning given when extracting usr/share/zoneinfo/GMTO (Can't create '/mnt/usr......')"
.... (other files unsuccessfully being extracted)
Installation failed
and so on for the rest of the packages.
My source is the official 2011.08 core image on a flash drive (/dev/sda1/) writing to an external hdd (/dev/sdb1, etc). I've searched the forums and the wiki and google but haven't been able to figure it out. Somehow the partitions aren't accessible to pacman, perhaps?
Hopefully I'm not missing something really obvious...

Thanks for the lead:

Edit: before using this harddrive, I zeroed it out using Disk Utility on Mac OSX, which left it formatted as FAT. The partitions were then created using fdisk during the Arch installer,

  • [Solved]Error with installing package: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem

    So i know there are other posts about this and i have read them and I have also read the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … _in_.2Flib and also this forum post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156942
    the error i get when trying to install a package from the AUR
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    hp-health: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem
    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    I tried to find who owned the files/package in the /lib by the following commands
    $ grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files
    $ find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +
    the output was
    /lib is owned by filesystem 2015.02-1
    Im confused what to do at this point as the wiki that I linked above says
    If any package apart from glibc is listed as owning a file, that package needs to be updated to install its files in /usr/lib
    Last edited by PigsInSpace (2015-03-01 02:25:24)

    You are following directions for a file conflict with /lib for a very specific one-time manual intervention, but you don't have that file conflict according to the error message you posted and it is not for that intervention.  See this instead: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … 9.22_error then report the error on the aur page for that package.
    This fixes it:
    package() {
    cd "$srcdir"
    + mv usr/lib64 usr/lib
    cp -a opt usr var "$pkgdir"

  • FCP error during install.

    I keep getting an error after installing FCP 5.1.1.
    It says error during install please try again.
    Im using 10.4.7 on my ibook 1ghz 640mb ram.
    I know it will work because a friend has installed it on his.
    Any one help?

    This most often caused by a damaged or otherwise faulty disk in the package. It happens. Try cleaning the disks and then get out your receipt and serial number because your only recourse will be to call Apple for a replacement.

  • Integrity constraint error during install

    We have installed htmldb on zlinux from the companion CD.
    Because we had an error during install of the flows schema we repeat it (have removed the Flows-User and Flow-Files before) using ins.sql! The apache was still running.
    Most of the new installation was fine but near the end we got:
    error creating "Procedure arguments" id=122 Ora-01400, cannot insert NULL into ("FLOWS_010500,"WWv_Flows_STEPS","SECURITY_GROUP_ID")
    declare
    Error at line1

    parent key not found
    ORA-06512 at "FLOWS_01500.WWV_FLOW_API line 4695
    ...

    OK, it's solved:
    I finally managed to install Apex 3.0 correctly once I figured out my error.
    I was logging in remotely to the server the dadbase was on, then trying to connect to sqlplus using 'sys/password@instance as sysdba' to run the script.
    Turns out that the problem had something to do with sys not being allowed to be sysdba when I log in remotely, or that having the username/password and instance info in there made the program think I was logging in remotely and therefore not giving me sysdba privileges.
    The root of the problem was running the install .sql without the correct privileges.
    Since I found out the database server I was trying to install on uses OS authentication, I remote-connected to the database server as the oracle user, tried to run the install .sql again after connecting to sqlplus: 'conn / as sysdba'
    and everything worked like a charm!

  • Error During INSTALL of Application Export File

    An error is reported during INSTALL of an application that I am trying to copy (Import/Install) from a "development" Work Space into a "production" Work Space. The production (target) Work Space is on the same HTML DB instance as the development Work Space.
    I am receiving the following INSTALL error:
    ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &amp;quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&amp;quot; when expecting one of the following: .

    Following is some pertinent (hopefully) information:
    The above INSTALL error takes exception to part of a Region Select (sql) that works fine in the development Work Space.
    The common HTML DB (v1.6) instance is on UNIX.
    A new Work Space was created on the same instance.
    A new schema name was created during creation of the new Work Space. However, this schema does not point to a database. (We were not certain how to setup the schema to parse to our live database.) I will be running DBLINK upon production application startup in order to access the database objects.

    Please refer to above error message.
    Again, any insights or suggestions are appreciated.

    Urgently need help! I've read several other Forum messages having a related problem but none having same Install error message.
    Again, my Export/Import from development Workspace to production Workspace is successful. The following error is reported when I attempt to "Install" into the production Workspace:
    ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful.

    HTML DB version is: 1.6.0.00.67. I've also tried to Export/Import/Install the application into the "same" Workspace specifying the same schema, and only changing the Application ID. However, I get the same Install error (see above).
    Any suggestions on things to try in order to get application into production is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Bernard.

  • Solution for Power Saver error during install

    Hello,
    i have read several topics about the powersaver error during install of this utilty.
    i had the same problem even with a clean install of windows XP and i have found the solution.
    The error seems to disapear and Powersaver works fine after install of the Hotkey utility :
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Satellite/sa60/win-xp/hotkey-dd/hotkey-dd-xp-10008sa-du.zip
    Hope this post where helpfull.

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hi
    You are absolutely right. Common modules is a kind of basic application who must be installed first. All other Toshiba tools should be installed after. The functionality of Power saver utility depends also on installed common modules.
    Unfortunately I can not give you any kind of advice but in case that there is some error message the best solution is to remove and install the Power saver again. Check also Toshiba download page. Maybe you can find a newer version.

  • Quicktime errors during install, uninstall, or run

    Quicktime errors during install, uninstall, or run. No error code. It just says it encountered an error and must exit.

    I located a previous response that satisfied my issue. Below is the process that allowed me to use quicktime.
    The "fatal error" in this context has (recently) been indicating trouble with old, misplaced QuickTime componentry lurking about in your system.
    (Whether or not the message is a symptom of that problem seems to depend on what version of old misplaced stuff is lurking and what version of QuickTime proper we're trying to install or uninstall ... but in recent times, there's been an uptick in fatal errors being caused by that.)
    So let's try investigating that possibility first.
    First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in "My Computer" open Local Disk C: (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Errors During Instalation Of Final Cut Studio 5.1

    Aloha,
    I am having some trouble here!! I am trying to install FCP Studio Pro 5.1 on my mac. I tried to do an upgrade from FCP 4.5 HD on my orriginal Hard drive. The instalation went through its paces & asked me to put in the second disc. I did then it came back with an anoucment that there were errors during instalation & to try again I did & was never able to get it to instal... Getting frustrated I ran diskworior on the drive & tried again no luck... after some time I thought it might be the drive would not let me because there was an earlier version on there.... so any way after some other problems with this drive I decided to completely erase & instal Mac OSX on my second hard drive that has never had anything on it. I made this my new startup disk & upgraded the OS to OS 10.4.9 I then Tried to install FCP Studio Pro 5.1 on this drive.. this time It never got to ask me to put in another disk it came back with the same error during instalation try again!!!!!! So now I am getting ******!! but odly enough Final cut studio shows up in my aplications. When I click on it it gives me a warning that there was an error registering & once I click ok it seems to launch FCP 5.1....... ?? So is it really there or not??? & why is it not installing the other 4 discs??? and to add insult to this I have tried to install iLife 06 & I get the same error!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!
    Another thing.. I installed FCP Studio Pro 5.1 on another Identical computer down the street & it installed no problem!!!!
    Can anyone help Please!!!!!!

    I would take a different approach.
    I would backup the old drive files to an external, and then do a clean wipe and new install of OS, updates and the FCS.
    Best way to do it, in my view.

  • WRT160N error during install

    I just purchased WRT160N and during the install of LELA there is an error. " Linksys Updater failed to start- verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services" pops up during install.  Then it asks to retry and it hasn't worked or close window.  Then when says this "Setup for Linksys Advisor has failed "Fatal Error During Install" please check your settings and try again.
    Help!  I am not computer savy, and don't want to start changing anything and screw it up.
    Internet is working on the installed computer (I believe this is called the gateway? not wireless uses the ethernet cable)but I can't setup my wife's new laptop til this is fixed.
    BTW this is a cable modem hook up if that makes a difference.  I have tried restarting, turning power off as well but still get the same problem every time.
    Thanks,
    Don

    As you have mentioned that your Hardwired computer is able to go online throught the router, and now you are trying to setup your wireless computer. You dont have to run the setup disk on your computer, you can configure all the settings on your Router manually and then make your Wife's computer go online wirelessly..
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
    Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • [SOLVED] DHCP error during install due to multiple net cards

    Hello all,
    At the "Setup Network" option during the installation, I choose eth0. Then it asks if I want to use DHCP. I select 'Yes' but get
    Failed to run dhcpcd. See /dev/tty7 for details
    while polling for DHCP. So I press Alt+F7 and the details are
    eth0: dhcpcd 4.0.10 starting
    eth0: waiting for carrier
    eth0: timed out
    When I try to manually set it up (ie select 'No' when asked if I want to use DHCP), it asks for the following: IP address, submask, broadcast, Gateway (optional), DNS Server. Then it says "Network is configured" but I still can't download the packages.
    I have a Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC card (not wireless) to a Linksys Router. I've set up DHCP on it for 5 users (only two being used). By the way I have WinXP on the same computer which accesses the network fine, and net access also worked during other distros' installation.
    Any clues? Thanks.

    Sorry I was maybe a little bit unclear on my previous post, but I'm pretty sure that I don't have an IP address during installation. I would like to add some precisions. Here are my observations:
    When I type ifconfig immediately after login (as root), it shows
    lo Link encap:Local loopback
    inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0
    UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

    TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
    RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
    Then when I run /arch/setup, Configure Network, answer 'Yes' to DHCP, and after the error message (the one on 1st post), ifconfig gives this (which clearly shows that I do NOT have an IP)
    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:39:63:8C:EE
    UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

    TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
    RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
    Finally, when I answer 'No' to the DHCP question, and after I've entered my IP/Broadcast/Subnet Mask/DNS addresses, the result of ifconfig is the one on the previous post, that is
    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:39:63:8C:EE
    inet addr:172.30.201.6 Bcast:172.30.201.255 Mask 255.255.255.0

    NB: I have entered the same addresses that I use normally (ie with Windows, the ones I see in cmd->ipconfig /all), but I could have entered whatever addresses I wanted. And I still don't have net access during install (ping does not return anything).
    Can you explain what are you doing to install Linux? Do you try to run the CD from within Windows or are you placing the CD in the CD bay and re-booting the machine and the CD fails?
    Of course I am booting the cd at startup (not within windows)! And the CD does not fail, or at least does not seem. Everything runs fine except the DHCP thing. So the problem is not the CD, but my computer. I'm finding a way to get DHCP working during the installation.

  • Error in installing packages during jumpstart

    The machine I am installing via jumpstart is on a terminal server and I am connected to ttya. I am seeing these errors in the log:
    ## Executing postinstall script.
    pkgadd: ERROR: freopen(/dev/tty, "a", stdout) failed, errno=6
    pkgadd: ERROR: postinstall script did not complete successfully
    and I am told the installation failed with an error code of 1 which, according to the pkgadd man page it a fatal error.
    When I do a pkginfo -l on the package it appears that the package is there. Is this something to worry about?
    If it means anything, this is the java 1.4.2_02 packages.
    Kent

    You might want to redirect stdout & stderr to /dev/null while installing packages via run-scripts (I'm assuming that 's the case).
    So, when you're doing the pkgadd, do it like this:
    echo y|pkgadd -a ${MD_PRODUCT}/admin -d `pwd` SUNWmdr > /dev/null 2>&1
    Here I'm trying to install a disksuite pkg as a post-install and it givees me the same error messages that you get if I don't redirect 2>&1 to /dev/null

  • Error during install of the iTunes 11.0.1 update on Windows Vista

    Error during the process of installing the iTunes update to 11.0.1, when iTunes attempts to write to file C:\Config.msi\b530a0c.rbf. iTunes says it can't access that directory, but i'm installing iTunes as an Administrator.  And i don't find the specified file in this directory on my c:\ drive

    I seem to have solved this problem as follows:
    1.  Download the iTunes.exe file from apple.com, but save the file to my Desktop rather than running it.
    2.  Execute (double click) the iTunes.exe file from my Desktop.
    3.  When i encountered the problem that i've reported (the iTunes installer announces that it can't access a file in the c:\config.msi directory, i clicked the Retry button in the error window.  The iTunes installer process appeared to move past the error.
    4.  I experienced the same error one more time during my apparently successful iTunes 11.0.1 install, but the 2nd time this error came up iTunes reported that it was trying to access a different file name in the c:\config.msi directory.  Again, i clicked the Retry button in the error window and the iTunes installer appeared to move on past the error.

  • "WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing." error during install or boot

    Hello everyone!
    Since the lasts kernels (I'm almost sure it happens since 3.9 because 3.8 worked fine) I can't boot on Archlinux anymore. This error floods my screen and I can't do anything, and because the new Archlinux iso (june 2013) comes with 3.9 kernel it now also happens during installation. Fortunately, I saved the may iso so I still can install archlinux and switch during install to LTS kernel but this is not a good solution. I can't find a solution online, some people have this issue but it seems to be a bit different everytime.
    I use Archlinux on a server, with hardware raid : Dell PERC H200a with LSI SAS2008 according to my BIOS. According to http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.7, the WRITE SAME SCSI command "allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O (commit)". Here is the exact configuration :
    - DELL® PowerEdge R210 II
    - 1x Intel® Xeon® E3 1220 V2
    - HDD: 2 x 1 To SATA2 RAID
    - RAID: Hardware, Dell PERC H200, (Raid 1)
    So my first problem is that I can't find online if my server is capable of this command (but I don't think so) and then the other issue is that I want to know if I can disable it. I found kernel patches for this issue :
    https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1898441/ and https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1982051/ (the first link seems to be a better solution).
    Then, I checked in the kernel source of 3.9 and I think that this patch isn't implemented (there is no device_write_same_capable function for instance). But kernel patching is not a really good solution, if I have to patch my kernel everytime the main kernel is updated...
    After some research, I found that my hardware RAID driver seems (I'm not sure) to be the kernel module "mpt2sas", so I checked both may and june isos of Archlinux and it's the same version (14.1) so it shouldn't be the problem.
    Does somebody can help me on this issue ? I don't really know what to do now.
    Thanks for reading, if I forgot something or if you want more informations, ask me!
    Bye.
    PS : My English isn't very good, sorry.
    EDIT : I found a part of the solution ! It seems to be an issue with the kernel that doesn't detect properly if my disc is capable of doing WRITE SAME command.
    So I have to write "0" in the file "max_write_same_blocks" under /sys. But the problem is that /sys is renewed every boot so I don't know how to make my changes permanent. I made a systemd service file, it almost works, but this solution isn't nice : the parameter is applied lately so errors shows at the beginning and this is not really easy to set up. I prefer a solution like "sysctl" but it seems that it only controls parameter under /proc/sys and not /sys, am I right ?
    Moreover, I tried two other things : Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.9.4 works and Archlinux iso with 3.8.10 has max_write_same_blocks > 0 and it also works... So I don't really understand this issue. Maybe in 3.8 the parameter max_write_same_blocks has no effect (or not the same as in 3.9) ?
    Here is the systemd file that I made to reduce the issue :
    [Unit]
    Description=No WRITE SAME
    After=local-fs.target
    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/host0/target0:1:0/0:1:0:0/scsi_disk/0:1:0:0/max_write_same_blocks'
    RemainAfterExit=no
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    This is not a good solution, see my next post. I don't delete it in case you want to compare.

    I found a solution to disable the WRITE SAME command. That doesn't answer all my questions but it solves my issue. I was looking for a file like "sysctl.conf" but for /sys parameters : you already can do that in Arch, just create a file that ends with ".conf" in tmpfiles.d and add one line per parameter you want to modify. This file will be loaded early at boot.
    To disable it in an existing Archlinux installation, add in you file the line :
    w /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/host0/target0:1:0/0:1:0:0/scsi_disk/0:1:0:0/max_write_same_blocks - - - - 0
    Read the manpage of tmpfiles.d if you don't understand this line, it depends on your configuration and you can't copy it.
    Then reboot and no more error !
    If you want to disable it during the Arch install, just change directly the value you want in /sys. You have to do it at the beginning before mounting partitions, for instance just after choosing your keymap.
    Bye.
