This happens with the 7.04 (feisty) xubuntu alternate install cd also. It happens when the user is trying to perform an installation without a working cdrom.
In my case, I mounted another partition containing the xubuntu iso, and then used the loop device to mount that iso as /cdrom Mounting /cdrom one's self appears to omit some critical step; apparently the release codename is decided when the cdrom is mounted by the installer. Installation hits a brick wall at the "Install Base System" step because of the fatal "Failed to determine codename for the release" error. -- [7.10] [xubuntu] Install fails "Failed to determine codename for the release" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
