Title: INstall errors 3.6 gameon
Post by: Lizbeth on April 17, 2015, 12:35:39 AM
i got about 80 percent installed and then it quit.  Tried it a second time from the command line and got this output:

after the first install error with sparky i tried it again via the command line.  here is the printout from the command line:

--> Copying 247113 files
Executing: rsync --ignore-errors --verbose --archive --no-D --acls --hard-links --xattrs --exclude=/source/home/* --exclude=/source/dev/* --exclude=/source/proc/* --exclude=/source/sys/* --exclude=/source/tmp/* --exclude=/source/run/* --exclude=/source/mnt/* --exclude=/source/media/* --exclude=/source/lost+found --exclude=/source/source /source/* /target/
ERROR: rsync exited with returncode: 23


Any ideas whats to do next?  The graphic installer never left the screen, it just hung there and refused to do any more..

Does your machine have UEFI?
If not, try the old installer:

If yes, remove the live installer:
sudo apt-get remove live-installer
and install the latest version of the live installer (active internet connection needed):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install live-installer
