vannhey, i think there might be a problem with the file 777032a3688fc47202f7cb07d18196a4d24b7b047160977100183d598538e9c5 *xubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.16:48
coconutvann, the hash does not match?16:50
vanninstall fails. hash matches16:51
vanni downloaded from german and french mirrors16:51
vanntried to create the stick with unetbootin on windows 10 and with the startup-disk tool on ubuntu16:52
GridCloudhave you tried re-formatting the install media?16:52
GridCloudsometimes it needs to be on fat32 and if it's on ntfs it wont work16:52
vanni'll recheck that, but i think i did fat3216:55
tomreynvann: i'm not sure whether unetbootin does this, but i know that balena etcher verifies that the data written tot he installer media (usb stick) matches the ISO file16:59
tomreynthe iso file should be 1791655936 bytes17:02
vannthe file size is correct.17:05
vanni reformatted the entire stick to fat32 with gparted just now17:05
vannand use startup disk creator from ubuntu to write the image17:06
tomreyni dont think the original file system will matter there, since it should just overwrite the full thing17:13
GridCloudnah i made an installer yesterday and the pc bious wouldn't detect it if it wasn't on fat3217:15
vanni'm starting the installation right now, and while the loading bar is runnen and it's checking the files, it says at the end 'Check finished: errors found in 1 files! You might encounter errors.'17:17
vanni'm attempting the installation now, i check both 'download updates' and 'third-party' in the dialog17:17
GridCloudfingers crossed17:17
vanni can now choose between 'erase ubuntu', 'install alongside' and 'erase disk' and 'something else'. i would choose 'erase disk' but don't select any advanced features17:19
vannand now i get 'Installation Failed'17:21
vannzlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt17:22
tomreynso verify the data written to the usb stick 17:22
vannfailed to read block 0x3171a268: -517:22
tomreynthat sounds like oyu want to replace the broken stick17:22
vannok, so installing ubuntu from that stick i was just lucky that I didn't hit that block?17:24
tomreynif oyu did so previously without error, then it was either not hitting this block, or the block happened to be readable then17:24
vannok, thanks. i guess i gotta find another stick then.17:25
vannbrb17:25
vannok, i got another stick, i'll try balena etcher now17:32
vannwith the other stick i at least passed the point where the error occured before. interesting bit: i just now flashed the faulty stick with balenaEtcher and it says the flash is successful, so balenaEtcher seems to not find that faulty block.17:48
vannok, install was successful. thank you very much for your help <317:51
tomreynyou're welcome17:58
