Fedora Installation :: F12 DVD Has Error - Tried Burning And Downloading Several Times
Nov 21, 2009
I've downloaded the DVD version of Fedora 12 with a torrent so it shouldn't be corruped - checked the hash anyway and it wasn't - and I burnt it at a low speed and has my burning program verify that it did indeed burn what it was supposed to. I tested the disc for errors and every time it shows up that around the 70% mark that the DVD has an error.
I got a problem while updating KDE from 4.1.2 to 4.2. In our college we can't download more than 20MB officially. So I'm unable to get kdegames which is 32MB from Konsole so I downlaoded it using proxy and I copied it into the /var/cache/yum/updates/packages/ folder and now using this command (yum groupinstall 'KDE (K Desktop Environment)').
I tried to update to KDE 4.2 using Konsole but it is showing: Error Downloading Packages: 6:kdegames-4.2.0-1.fc10.i386: failure: kdegames-4.2.0-1.fc10.i386.rpm from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
And even by double-clicking the KDEgames rpm file I'm unable to install it is saying GPG (I'm not sure GPG or not, start with G i think) Key missing so it is taking too much time and not doing anything.
I'v downloaded the new versions of suse many times. I average 3 to 4+ times before it's successful, bad downloads(bad checksum) or download stops for no reason. I'v used direct link and bittorrent. Bittorrent takes 2-3 times as long. So, I usually use direct link. I can do the download in about 6-8 hours. The first time, it stopped at 334 megs, using direct link. Using bittorrent, it took about 16 hours. I got a bad checksum. Is there a way I fix the file without downloading it again? Suse 10.4
i'm having a problem in downloading the repository indexes.its giving me the following error.""Could not download all repository indexesThe repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.[URL]ome index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.""Though its giving a msg saying check ur network connection,my net connection is fine.
I'm trying to update Ubuntu 10.04 after a clean installation, it downloaded 245 files,and there is an error in the indexes of the 2 last packages:Failed to fetch [URL] difiere (bad size) Failed to fetch [URL] difiere (bad size) This happens even changing the repository to main server or another through "Software origins".Update-manager doesn't conclude the update because it can't download all the packages.
I have windows 7 installed in my system. I have downloaded fedora 14 iso image to my computer. Is there a way to install fedora from the iso directly without burning dvd, like directly from pen drive?
Fedora-15-i386-DVD.iso file, sha256sum is correct. Burning by k3b on a fedora14 system fails again and again at 98.4% of the burning. I downloaded again to another partition and the same happens again. The k3b-debug output:
what's happened. I now have to log-in 7 times (at least) before I can finally get in to fedora 11. It only started happening at the week-end after a patch was installed. what's going on?
I have just installed Fedora12 x86 64. On booting more often than not it hangs just before completing the login screen.I will try some of the options in the wiki. In the mean time has anyone else experienced this and resolved it.The odd thing is although the keyboard is not on, (num lock light goes out as boot starts and only comes back on if it has fully booted), the mouse will move around the screen but the click has no effect.Note the same behaviour was shown on the x86 64 live cd which I needed to install to enable me to create a bootable usb stick from the x86 64 DVD.
I downloaded the current F12 DVD iso on my macbook to install on my Dell 450 Intel Xeon 3.00GHz, but I cant figure out how to verify the download. The Fedoraproject/en/verify does not mention mac, and the command is not working in the mac terminal.
I have just installed (after a series of crashes during the install) Fedora 15. I also have Ubuntu Natty installed and use it primarily but I wanted to reach out and try new distros.I've wanted to try Fedora and finally got enough nerve to try. Installing it crashed for no apparent reason several times.ehow it installed and booted right to Fedora.However, when finally figuring out how to run the updates, I began to have the same problem.(Someone elsewhere suggested trying to update through command line--which I did finally though I had a few crashes doing this).
Now I am logging in and then it will just inadvertently crash. I could be in firefox, or using terminal, etc. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to why this is happening and I feel frustrated. I really want to test out Fedora (it looks so nice!) but can't manage to stay afloat more than a few minutes. I might also mention that this does not happen in Ubuntu at all so I can't account for the issues. I have much to learn but I feel a bit intimidated by Fedora because it's so new to me.
if there is a way of downloading some extra packages and including some extra repositories that will automatically install during the main installation? With the option of a few settings being saved too... like for those that are used to windows having the gnome menu on the bottom.
I am promoting and convincing a lot of people to try Linux and I always recommend fedora as the OS of choice. I have no interest in creating my own distro, because I love Fedora. I just want to make sure these users can have all the codecs and little extras that makes computing fun without being a geek.My main issue is when I wipe their HDD and install Fedora, I then have to repeat the same tweaks and installs every time. This is my 7th time doing the exact same install and am looking for a quicker way.
Im currently running windows 7 and im looking for the best way to install fedora 13 and run a dual boot. i am open to other OSes as well mostly thinking of a tri boot with ubuntu but not really sure.
I am downloading the dvd installation version of fedora 13.
I have 110GB of unallocated space to put towards the project my main concern is how i should go about partitioning the space in the best way. (how much space for /boot and swap. what type of partitions should i use and so on)
Second concern would be to make sure i correctly configure grub(i have had trouble with grub recently) i just dont want to run into any issues after the installation.
I have an urgent major problem. I tried to install F8, F9, F10, F11 and F13 live but all gave the same problem, which is I can't install the OS.the problem is Fedora can't communicate with ATI Radeon HD 5145.....the setup just hangs up some times hangs when it tries to run anaconda....
Now F10 X86_64 was installed normally, but after the first reboot.. it gone crazy...and started to display rubbish...going to init 1 and trying to run the GUI I got error server X.
Also ubuntu didn;t work too

I keep getting the following error when trying to burn a DVD, and unfortunately am none the wiser as to what it means:
Code:
DBus error
This is using both Brasero and K3b, the disk stops writing about halfway through on Brasero and a tenth of the way through on K3b. I'm just trying to burn a data DVD and have tried low & high speeds.
I see there are a lot of other threads on this subject, but I don't find any solution in the other threads. I have been trying to burn cd's directly in Ubuntu, using Brasero, which was already installed. Why does it not work? It says that an "unknown error occurred" or something like that. I don't remember the exact error message right now. I am now burning cd's in "Gnomebaker" which I found in the applications list. This works fine, but only at the speed of 4x, no faster. I hope to get the brasero application to work, as this is the easiest, fastest way, just dragging files to the cd.
I don't know what the difference is between DVD+R and DVD-R or if it matters, lol.
I was trying to burn 2.0 GB of data to a 4.7-GB DVD+R and after it finished burning, I got "There was an error writing to the disk."
When I opened the directory of the disk, it appeared that all of the files were there, but when I tried to open any of them, I got "Could not read from the resource" errors.
I tried burning it again to a fresh disk and it was the same except when I tried to open the files it said variations of "error interpreting file".
I checked the log files and mostly it was unhelpfully generic errors, except for this line: "BraseroLibburn Asynchronous SCSI error on CLOSE TRACK SESSION: [3 73 04] Program memory area update failure"
That part was the same for both attempts. What could be causing this?
Does anyone experience burning problem with Brasero? At first, everything was great, but lately I receive all kind of messages (mounting problem, ejecting problem etc.) and burning is unsuccessful.
I am trying to burn Ubuntu Server to a CD-R and I am getting a quick error after each burn attempt. I am burning on the slowest speed. I want to resolve this without using up all of my CD's. When I try to burn the ISO it shows 39.5 MB of free space on the disc when this is a brand new CD-R with 700 MB of free space. When I look at the newly burned disc it looks like Ubuntu Server is on the CD
I was trying to burn a dvd to an image file today, and the first one worked no problem, I tried to burn another and I keep getting this error: Data could not be written (Input/output error) Here's my log:
I'm running Karmic and finally decided to upgrade. When I inserted my blank disc for 11.04 Brasero shows my blank disc as "Blank CD --drive name here -- 17.5 MB free space". I proceed to burn anyway figuring that it's some kind of read error and I have nothing to lose by attempting the write. (I did in fact lose 3 discs, about 50 cents). Disc writes fine but hangs for about 5 minutes during the finalizing stage and then stops with an error.
I'm having trouble burning a data disk. When I burn it ejects the DVD, then saves a log. Here's the last few lines of its contents:

Quite a bit of stuff. You can download its full contents. I have no idea what this means and I really would like to make this disk.
I'm trying to burn an audio CD with Brasero. Every time I try this, it fails, but it works when writing to an image file. Brasero quits with the following messages in log:
Code: Checking session consistency (brasero_burn_check_session_consistency brasero-burn.c:1744) Unsupported type of task operation Session error : An internal error occurred (brasero_burn_record brasero-burn.c:2862) Do you know what could be causing this?
I have a problem with Transmission. After using it for over six months without a single problem, it suddenly stopped downloading. In the torrents that do no get downloaded, I get an error message Tracker responded: Unknown error (0) in the info window, tracker tab. But there are torrents with the same tracker that don'thave a problem and get downloaded fineThe logs don't give a clue about whats wrong either.I tried downloading those torrents with Vuze and I had the same problem. What could be wrong?
