[Bug 1124373] Re: linux-firmware unexpected EOF in archive
First answer: The file I am attempting to download directly is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux- firmware_1.79.1.tar.gz. This file produces the error above when attempting to untar the file. Second answer: The download never completes when using apt-get install linux-firmware. The download loops indefinitely (or at least through 30 tries before I CTRL-C the process). Length: 23381949 (22M) [application/x-gzip] Saving to: `linux-firmware_1.79.1.tar.gz` 99% [=> ] 23,371, 1776 404K/s in 27s 2013-02-13 14:11:06 (831 KB/s) - Connection closed at byte 23371776. Retrying. Trying the .deb file, as suggested, produces the same result, except that the connection closes at byte 23076864 each time. This is a brand new Ubuntu 12.04 install. The other 200+ initial updates installed just fine. This is only that that's giving me fits. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1124373 Title: linux-firmware unexpected EOF in archive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1124373/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Dave Lentz's suggestions do not work. Same problem. If you download directly from http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates /linux-firmware, the package does not tar extract. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1124373 Title: linux-firmware unexpected EOF in archive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1124373/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
