wilcal.int There are numerous I/O errors for /dev/sr0 at the start of report.bug, could it be your disk is reaching the end of it's life? Are you able to use USB to boot? /dev/sr0 is the DVD. It was burned on a fresh disk. And the drive (whole laptop) is just months old. Booting usb: never tried, never looked into the method. the issue seems to stem from 'read failed' for gnu-free-fonts-common which causes a cascade of further failures. unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/gnu-free-fonts-common/ChangeLog;53e4eebf: cpio: read failed - Resource temporarily unavailable gnu-free-fonts-common-20120503-5.mga4.noarch gnu-free-fonts-common-20120503-5.mga4.noarch: install failed lib64exttextcat2.0_0-3.4.4-1.mga5.x86_64 libexttextcat-3.4.4-1.mga5.x86_64 installing autocorr-en-4.3.0.4-1.mga5.noarch.rpm locales-en-2.19-1.mga5.x86_64.rpm fonts-ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-13.mga4.noarch.rpm gnu-free-serif-fonts-20120503-5.mga4.noarch.rpm hyphen-en-2.8.5-4.mga4.noarch.rpm locales-2.19-1.mga5.x86_64.rpm gnu-free-mono-fonts-20120503-5.mga4.noarch.rpm hyphen-2.8.7-2.mga5.x86_64.rpm from /tmp/image/media/core starting installing packages created transaction for installing on /mnt (remove=0, install=0, upgrade=8) Installation failed: gnu-free-fonts-common = 20120503-5.mga4 is needed by gnu-free-serif-fonts-20120503-5.mga4.noarch gnu-free-fonts-common = 20120503-5.mga4 is needed by gnu-free-mono-fonts-20120503-5.mga4.noarch You sometimes find a dvd drive doesn't like certain media, or perhaps it needs to cool down a bit, it shows it spent 2.5hrs trying to install (if i am reading it correctly) Well tbh the memtest failed on both sticks of memory so it may well be that the bug is invalid due to bad hardware. Intend to buy new RAM and try again after I have found the proper ones; hopefully today. New RAM succeeds memtest, but similar errors as in this BR do occur. Every time it is a different package which is the cause, so as it was a very cheap notebook, I'll write it off to bad hardware. Status:
