Description rh hn 2011-05-07 14:12:13 CEST

Description of problem:
The version of the installer found in all.img can't mount partitions for viewing in the partitioning module.
"mount -t ntfs-3" outputs "error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2 [...]"

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Prepare a machine with NTFS partitions
1. Copy all.img to USB flash
2. Run installation from the USB flash
3. In the installer step, select NTFS partition, press "View"

Maybe the installer should use 'ntfs' instead of ntfs-3g, since it's not going to write an ntfs partition, just view it...

FWIW, the same issue happens with the dual-arch ISO.

Wrong package.
Indeed the lib is missing from rescue squashfs
Anyway, I just fixed it in SVN

When will the fix make it to cauldron?

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2011-09-24 22:28:05 CEST

It is already in cauldron...

Comment 6 rh hn 2011-09-24 22:43:19 CEST

OK, maybe I'm misunderstanding the process of moving the changes to the repo, but I just tried the cauldron image, and the issue persists.

The mirror/file I used:
http://mageia.unige.ch/mirror/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/images/all.img

Thanks for taking interest in this!

What did you exactly did? What was your error message?

Comment 8 rh hn 2011-09-27 17:17:44 CEST

The message from the partition management GUI after pressing "view" was "unable to mount".
Issuing the same command from the command line from tty with partition setup running was exactly as in the first post.

Note that I was using an x86_64 version this time.

Comment 9 Manuel Hiebel 2011-09-27 19:28:33 CEST

Thierry, maybe we need to rebuil drakx-installer-stage2 ?

Rh, if you have finish the install can you *attach the file: /root/drakx/report.bug.gz

If not switch to console 2 (by pressing âCtrl-Alt-F2â) during installation, put a floppy in floppy drive or plug a USB key/stick and type âbugâ then press Enter. It will put report.bug on the floppy/key.

Comment 11 rh hn 2011-09-27 20:09:06 CEST

I managed to install Mageia, but I didn't touch ntfs.

Related - I think that x86_64 all.img from "1" points to "cauldron" stage2 when choosing HTTP sources.
