[Bug 1403982] [NEW] mini.iso installer cannot load additional components

Thu Dec 18 18:36:22 UTC 2014

Public bug reported:

system: Ubuntu Vivid 32-bit current daily mini.iso

Computer: http://www.toshiba.se/laptops/satellite-pro/c850/satellite-
pro-c850-19w/

Dialogue:

"Choose a mirror to use and press enter.

If you have a http proxy type its details now, otherwise just press
enter."

The installer does not start loading additional components. Instead it complains:
"Downloading a file failed"
Retry
Change mirror
Cancel

I have tried several national mirrors, and also 'archive.ubuntu.com'

No mirror can provide that file, and the installation gets stuck here.

Failing process: udpkg, net-retriever, or maybe missing files in the
mirrors?

There is nothing wrong with my internet connection:
ping ubuntu.com works (from this Vivid alpha mini.iso)
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS mini.iso works, can install systems

The automatically attached files have nothing to do with the bug. They
were created in another computer because I could not create the report
in the simple system running in the beginning of the mini.iso
installation process. So they were removed.
