Description christian fischer 2013-04-04 10:15:27 CEST
DVD beta4 propose second media as ftp or fttp.
but an error occur :
"basesystem package not selected"

With beta4 "dual" CD,  media FTP work very well.
Comment 1 christian fischer 2013-04-04 10:34:26 CEST
That is very laboured : 
- 269 packages
- the net
- choose mirror
- chose media ( tainted, non free...)
- wait for installed packages
- wait for a new window
- chose packages ...
and then ...error

Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2013-04-27 18:06:10 CEST
please rerun it. Once you hit the error, plug an USB key, go to the second console and run the "bug" command.
Then attach the report.bug.xz found on that key to this bug report

OEM patch #1

Alternatively you can use a OEM patch in order to test.

Comment 15 Richard Clayton 2013-04-28 17:08:57 CEST
Hi,

I can't do this at the moment as I can't (don't know how to) place patch-oem.pl on the install media.

I am using a USB with the image written using the dd command.

Looks like the system is seeing the USB as a CD thus not allowing writing to it or changing permissions to read-write

> decreasing while we do not have other report on that one

now we have, so setting it back, (only so it's not forgotten)

Priority: Low => release_blocker

Comment 17 Filip Komar 2013-04-28 23:40:02 CEST
I would like to try those patches too since I also experience this on DVD 32-bit RC dd-ed to USB.  Unfortunately I also didn't manage to write them to USB.

Can you give me a hint how to overcome that?

Comment 18 Thierry Vignaud 2013-04-29 18:00:35 CEST
That cannot be release critical, installed system will works find w/o adding other media during installation.

Priority: release_blocker => Normal

Comment 19 Filip Komar 2013-04-29 18:39:32 CEST
True about adding other media. But what about missing basesystem during installation?
Comment 20 Thierry Vignaud 2013-04-29 20:50:34 CEST
basesystem isn't missing. It has already been installed hence this error.
Comment 21 Thierry Vignaud 2013-05-01 05:01:30 CEST
(In reply to Filip Komar from comment #17)
just put one at a time on a USB key as a file named either "patch" or "patch.pl" (any would work), then start the install by typing "linux patch" at the boot CD prompt
Comment 22 Richard Clayton 2013-05-01 20:32:05 CEST
Patch #1 works here.

name used: patch
Comment 23 Richard Clayton 2013-05-01 21:28:45 CEST
Just one error to note.

At end of the install, before adding users, I get the following message:



An error occurred

ERROR: 'script' failed for lib64gtk+3_0-3.6.4-1.mga3.x86_64:




The install completed OK and the package above is actually installed.


Peace.
Comment 24 Thierry Vignaud 2013-05-01 21:38:10 CEST
That error is unrelated.
What about patch #2?

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

Comment 25 Richard Clayton 2013-05-01 21:51:33 CEST
Hi,

Patch #2 failed

Same error as the original poster
Comment 26 Thierry Vignaud 2013-05-01 22:01:31 CEST
Could you attach the /root/drakx/report.bug.xz with that patch?
It's the less intrusive, I fear side effects with the first one.

Comment 27 Richard Clayton 2013-05-01 22:35:25 CEST
Actually, patch #2 does work.

re-checking the scripts I'd copied the wrong text for patch #2

What I had copied looked like actual patch text.

Can confirm patch #2 is working - testing install now.

Fixed in SVN
