** Description changed: + [Problem] + This bug appears because on live systems, new initrds are written to /cdrom/casper/initrd.lz.new (see special treatment of live systems in /usr/sbin/update-initramfs starting from line 9). + + If you create a persistent live system via Startup Disk Creator and pull + the "How much" slider to the right as far as possible (what seems + sensible for most cases and users), all space not used for the system is + allocated for that documents-and-settings-ext2-file and there is no + space left on /cdrom. Therefore update-initramfs fails with that cryptic + lzma error code. + + Perhaps Startup Disk Creator should leave some spare space on the live + medium even if the user chooses "use all remaining space available for + my live medium". + + + [Original Report] Binary package hint: initramfs-tools Can not install Broadcom STA wireless driver package "bcmwl-kernel- source" in a fresh install of Lucid Beta 2 because there is an error in installing initram-fs (bcmwl-kernel-source is correctly detected as a wireless card hardware driver) ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: initramfs-tools 0.92bubuntu71 [modified: usr/sbin/update-initramfs] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-19.28-generic 2.6.32.10+drm33.1 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-19-generic i686 AptOrdering: - initramfs-tools: Configure - bcmwl-kernel-source: Configure + initramfs-tools: Configure + bcmwl-kernel-source: Configure Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Apr 13 13:59:53 2010 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Beta i386 (20100406.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: initramfs-tools Title: package initramfs-tools 0.92bubuntu71 [modified: usr/sbin/update-initramfs] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
