[Bug 1841332] Re: Installation failed due to "corrupt" disk

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

This package failure looks like it was caused by a corrupted file
system, or device failure. eg. look in the logs and you'll see messages
like these :-

Aug 25 02:21:10 ubuntu kernel: [  354.235878] SQUASHFS error: zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt
Aug 25 02:21:10 ubuntu kernel: [  354.235886] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x8c3ec

Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be
a useful bug report so I am closing it, as it appears to be a faulty
device (or bad write-to-device). If you believe I'm in error, please
leave a comment explaining why and change the status back to 'new'. I
suggest you use the 'check disc for defects' option to validate your
media before install to ensure a good download & write.

Title:
  Installation failed due to "corrupt" disk

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I was trying to install Ubuntu next to a working installation of
  Mageia 7 and after I resized the partitions and hit Enter to move
  further the installation failed telling me that the disk is corrupt
  when I have no problems flashing/burning and installing Mageia with
  the same USB stick.
