I can reproduce on a Precise i386 VM running on an Oneiric amd64 host, after installation with fragments of code from ubiquity (attachment 894768.invalid_argument)
I downloaded 3GB of deb files, then copied them in a loop as below: $ for i in seq 1 10; do rm -Rf target/*; ./894768.invalid_argument archive target; done It often crash on 1rst loop, always on 2nd loop. syslog with kernel 3.2.0-2.5lp894768v201112011120_i386 attached. ** Attachment added: "894768.linux-3.2.0-2.5lp894768v201112011120_i386.syslog" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/894768/+attachment/2614861/+files/894768.linux-3.2.0-2.5lp894768v201112011120_i386.syslog -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894768 Title: Installation randomly fails with: File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/install_misc.py", line 621, in copy_file targetfh.write(buf) IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/894768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
