Re: [Bug 658865] Re: Install from USB fails: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed"
My comments are years old, so I can't recall the details of the error, but
the combinations of the two sets of instructions for adding additional
packages, and burning a USB from a CD, don't jibe, leaving users in the
lurch.
One or the other set of instructions should be updated to reflect this.
I switched to Arch years ago, simply because their documentation is superb!

I can confirm I had this same issue with multiple different versions of Ubuntu that I was trying to install via a USB stick created with Unetbootin. I had previously been in the habit of rewriting a USB thumb drive with different bootable images without cleaning it first. When I started wiping the USB thumb drive between loading it with an iso via unetbootin, everything started working. I think this could be considered a bug in unetbootin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658865 Title: Install from USB fails: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/estobuntu/+bug/658865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 658865] Re: Install from USB fails: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed"
Got sick and tired of this bug so figured I'd find out what the cause is. Turns out (for me) because I overwrote multiple versions of Linux using unetbootin, there were multiple apt folders in dist/ on the drive (i.e. yakkety, zesty, etc) so when the 40cdrom script came around, it tried to validate the GPG signature of all the dist/ repos including the non-target dist/ which of course fails so it bubbles up as a failure of the whole installation script. Removing the folder in question made the installation proceed without issues. PS: Without 40cdrom script, latter part of the installation fails if you have a UEFI system since it won't be able to find the signed grub shim so this approach is not recommended. tl;dr fix: Removing the folder not matching installation CD version from your USB dist/ folder should make it work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658865 Title: Install from USB fails: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/estobuntu/+bug/658865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 658865] Re: Install from USB fails: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed"
Dear all, I have been reading this post and have been struggling with it for both Ubuntu and Linux Mint USB installations (my computer is so new, it doesn't have a disc nor ethernet port anymore). Unfortunately the resolution mentioned above didn't work our form e, but after some hours of booting and testing, I found this which proofed to be a robust and working resolution. Hope you enjoy using your system of choice in UEFI mode while installing from USB. As for the credit part, please note that none of the below is my intellectual property, I just found a way to use Google in a smart way and combine several resolutions into one that is working for me, using mainly the following websites: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Thinkpad/X1%20Carbon%204thGen%20PCIe_SSD/jessie http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/280440/grub-and-lilo-both-fail- to-install-to-nvme-hard-disk-when-installing-debian http://www.rojtberg.net/1032/converting-a-ubuntu-and-windows-dual-boot- installation-to-uefi/ Basically, what you do is : - start the Ubuntu/Mint installer in BIOS mode - at the partition choise: "something else" / "manually" - create the 3 partitions to use in the final UEFI mode (1x EFI 512MB, 1x ext4, 1x SWAP) - set the GRUB partition to /dev/nvme0n1 (or /dev/sda, or ...) - install the Ubuntu/Mint as a normal BIOS install - Once installed, reboot to test the BIOS mode installed correctly - shutdown your BIOS based system and then make the switch from BIOS mode to UEFI mode - Boot the LIVE INSTALLATION image again in UEFI mode - Enter chroot and update Grub sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc sudo cp /proc/mounts /mnt/etc/mtab sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf sudo chroot /mnt sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install grub-efi-amd64 sudo update-grub sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi /dev/nvme0n1 sudo update-grub reboot Et voila .. your system will boot in UEFI mode - with just a few minutes of additional installation effort. P.s. one of the articles also mentiones the following necessary commands - but to be honoust, the system works fine for me without ;-) Once the installation completes, boot into the system. $ sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/modules # add the following line nvme sudo update-initramfs -u sudo nano /etc/default/grub # modify the following lines GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nomodeset" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="intel_pstate=no_hwp" sudo update-grub reboot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658865 Title: Install from USB fails: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/estobuntu/+bug/658865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 658865] Re: Install from USB fails: An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed
Hello, I had the same problem, too, installing Linux Mint 17.2. The installer just crashed, informing me that it had crashed, and not giving massively helpful error messages. I don't like having to trash the contents of a usb stick in order to install an os, so I have one usb stick created under Linux with good old grub1 (or grub4dos) on there. My problem was that I had not copied these directories to the root of the usb drive: /preseed /.disk /dists /pool The whole usb stick is mounted under /cdrom on the resulting live system, and some or all these directories being in the root directory seem to be immovable. It's unfortunate that all these files, only amounting to 8.2MB in total on Mint 17.2, and 5.6MB on Ubuntu 15.04 can't all be more portable and placed anywhere. It's unfortunate, too, that after years of bug reports, the error handling on this is unhelpful. It seems to be an upstream ubuntu problem, though. To fix, this is what I did, assuming that the usb stick is mounted under /usb: #Mount the iso image as a loopback on /cdrom mount -o loop linuxmint-17.2-cinnamon-64bit.iso /cdrom cd /usb mkdir mint17.2 cd mint17.2 #Copy all CD files to /usb/mint17.2 rsync -avv cdrom/ . --progress #Now copy the necessary dirs to the root of USB: cd /usb rsync -avv /cdrom/preseed /cdrom/.disk /cdrom/dists /cdrom/pool . --progress My grub1 menu.lst command line is: title Linux Mint 17.2 kernel /mint17.2/casper/vmlinuz file=/mint17.2/preseed/linuxmint.seed live-media-path=/mint17.2/casper/ ignore_uuid boot=casper ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw splash -- initrd /mint17.2/casper/initrd.lz The same idea can be used for Ubuntu 15.04. Grub4dos also works for booting usb sticks.

Same as above, this is still a problem when installing 14.04 final beta from a USB stick created with either unetbootin or ubuntu's own Startup Disk Creator. Same solution as above worked for me. I want to recommend Ubuntu to my friends who are discontinuing Windows but it's hard to believe I have to give them these special instructions so that they can install it from a downloaded ISO and a USB stick.

Thanks for the pointers, Klass. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this with unetbootin 494 and an Ubuntu 10.10 CD. Would someone who is still experiencing this bug please do the following: 1) Boot the USB disk created by unetbootin 494 (or whatever tool you used - just be sure to mention it here) and select Try Ubuntu. 2) Open a terminal and edit /usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-setup/generators/40cdrom as root (sudo gedit /usr/lib/ubiquity...) 3) Put 'set -x' just below the 'set -e' line. Save the file. 4) Run the installer until it crashes. 5) Run `sudo apport-collect ubiquity`. This will attach the needed debugging information to this bug report. Also write here which tool you used and what Ubuntu version you used. Please do not follow up to this report simply to say that you tried installing without these steps and it did not work.

Interesting that it seems to be working for you Evan. I haven't re- encountered the bug as I've been upgrading my Ubuntu systems since 10.10 rather than doing fresh installs. As I said in my original post, it was a repeatable bug with unetbootin 494 and ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso. I tried several times with different USB sticks etc. The other factors of interest were: * no cd/bd-rom drive in the system * no internet connectivity (the wi-fi card wasn't supported out of the box) I tried to muck around with the 40cdrom file as others have suggested here but didn't have much luck, perhaps due to my lack of a network connection (which bdowning suggests is necessary if you attempt that method). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658865 Title: Install from USB fails: An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/estobuntu/+bug/658865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 658865] Re: Install from USB fails: An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed
Removing the apt-setup/generators/40cdrom file requires that one have net connectivity to complete the installation. What's the point of having a cdrom, or usb stick with a complete distro except to either avoid the overhead of (repeated) download(s) (multiple installs) or a slow net connection to begin with (some of my friends still use dialup). My problem is potentially compounded by the fact that I'm installing UEFI. I don't like either of these workarounds, there must be something better.
