Bugzilla – Bug 114870
"ERROR: no proposal" while installation
Last modified: 2011-06-03 12:31:41 UTC
When updating my 9.3 installation to 10.0 beta3, I got the following error message in YaST installation summary (translations attached): Installationsmedien (install media) <- clickable Headline keine gültigen Installationsmedien (no valid install media) ERROR: no proposal Nonetheless the summary lists the number of packages that will be updated / installed - so I think this bug is only "displaying an error message though everything is OK". When I click on "Installationsmedien" (install media) and select the 10.0 media again, the error message goes away. You can find the y2logs at https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=48265&action=view
It seems you have wrong media, please, check your media with MediaCheck starting the installation, or check MD5sums. Mount.cc(mount):132 mount /dev/hdc /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/tmp: ERROR(Media:mount failed) MediaHandler.cc(attach):166 Attach failed: ERROR(Media:mount failed) dvd:///;devices=/dev/hdc not attached; localRoot "/var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/tmp" InstSrcManager.cc(scanMedia):463 Failed to attach media: ERROR(Media:mount failed) MediaAccess.cc(~MediaAccess):62 dvd(dvd:///;devices=/dev/hdc not attached; localRoot "/var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/tmp") MediaAccess.cc(close):152 Close: dvd(dvd:///;devices=/dev/hdc not attached; localRoot "/var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/tmp") (OK) Packages.ycp:445 No source on 'dvd:///;devices=/dev/hdc' clients/media_proposal.ycp:42 Invalid source
Michael, what dou you think about this bug, please?
I had no time to check the MD5sums yet, so just some information: - it's the DVD you (SUSE) sent me by snail mail - as described, it works when re-selecting the install media (means: the media should be OK because it works then) - I guess it also works before because YaST displays how many packages will be installed or updated
The media is ok. - Initializing the InstSrcManager, /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/tmp is created without error. - The following attempt to mount the media fails with 'No such file or directory'. - Somewhat later a 2nd attempt to mount to it succeeds. But there's been no attempt to recreate /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/tmp. That's strange. But I don't have similar reports nor am I able to reproduce it.
