Description Ole Reier Ulland 2022-08-14 05:28:10 CEST
When attempting to install Mageia 8 on my Samsung Galaxy Book i7-1165G7 using “Mageia-8-x86_64.iso“ everything worked fine with my USB C-Ethernet adapter. The specs for my USB C-Ethernet adapter says that there is a driver for it in the Linux kernel 3.2 and above and that is correct according to my experience with Mageia 8.

After installing packages for about 5 min., no matter what mirror, on the Internet or my local one, I used for the installation it always stopped with this message,

An error occurred:

unable to install package /tmp/image/media/core/lib64zeitgeist-gir2.0-1.0.3-1.mga8.x86_64.rpm

This is a duplicate of bug 30731.

bug 30731 has now been fixed. I tested a netinstall-nonfree install of m8
with no errors except the reboot from the installer to the installed system
failing. Booted into the installed system ok after removing the iso from the
optical drive.

That is nice, but I did not use the netinstall, I used “Mageia-8-x86_64.iso“.

Sorry. The other error resulted in several duplicate bugs. Will try to recreate
this one.

I can't reproduce this. As there where no updates to lib64zeitgeist-gir2.0-1.0.3-1.mga8.x86_64.rpm since release of Mageia 8 it can not even be a mirror problem as this package gets installed from your installation media (DVD/USB pen/...).

I did an additional test installation. I had to choose individual package selection in the installer and willingly selected lib64zeitgeist-gir2. That pulled  lib64zeitgeist2 as dependency. The installation went through without any problems and the system started fine.

I enabled online sources whilst installation with nonfree and tainted from http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/
64 bit Plasma UEFI installation with Mageia-8-x86_64.iso

As this package is in core-release without any updates (on your DVD/USB pen), the only problem i could imagine is:
- your installation media is broken/damaged
- hashsums don't match or where not checked
Comment 6 Dave Hodgins 2022-08-15 20:30:22 CEST
I also can't recreate it.

Using Mageia-8-x86_64.iso with or without online media enabled, core and nonfree x86_64 repos enabled (no tainted or 32 bit repos), installed gnome without
errors. After booting into the installed system ...
$ rpm -q lib64zeitgeist-gir2.0
lib64zeitgeist-gir2.0-1.0.3-1.mga8

If you can recreate the error, please attach the /root/drakx/report.bug.xz file
from the failed install.

This likely is a duplicate of bug 30731, but due to the way rpm uses transactions to install groups of packages, the error shown may be misleading
which is why the full report.bug.xz file is needed to debug properly.

I setup every two/three days a new Virtualbox installation to test some stuff. And the same like Dave, i use different configs for this (dependent on what i want to do with the VB):

32/64bit
different DE's
UEFI/BIOS
online media enabled/disabled
tainted/nonfree enabled/disabled

I never encountered such a problem...
Comment 8 Ole Reier Ulland 2022-08-17 03:31:15 CEST
I made a new attempt. I used a different USB stick, checked the sha3-512sum from IsoDumper after burning Mageia-8-x86_64.iso and did not try to connect to any package repository, but only used the USB stick. Then the installation worked without any trouble. Thank you very much for your quick response.
