[Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
This problem drove me crazy for 2 weeks on and off. I have finally found out what the problem is and I registered just to share my conclusion to help others because this is a very misleading error to a lot of us. I have 2 laptops and I tried to install BackTrack, BackBox, Ubuntu, etc.. all failed on one laptop and I couldn't understand why, I was installing from a live USB and it was still complaining about the CD/DVD error!! what the hell, it does not make any sense. I opened up my laptop, I completely removed the CD/DVD and tried again and it still failed. I opened up my laptop hoping my final resolution was to just remove a 2GB ram but to my luck, the laptop had just one 4GB RAM stick, so that trick would not work. I came to the wrong conclusion that others came to as well and that is perhaps the linux OS is just not compatible with all hardware out there and in my mind I started to blame developers even though I am one. Why this problem is a misleading one? Because :- 1- You can go into your bios and detect that you have the correct size of ram (4GB) and also boot windows 7/8 and use it just fine, no problems at all, so why should linux complain !, also in my case this was a brand new laptop as well.!! 2- There is a large number of us users that are actually experiencing this problem, so this could lead to the understanding that it is actually the OS and not our hardware. However, until you restart your machine and go into “Diagnostics” you won’t know that there is actually a problem with your ram, Its much quicker than using memtest to detect if there is indeed an issue. This leads me to believe that linux is actually so good that it does a proper test of the CRC of your ram as it tries to install itself and will fail if there is something wrong with the ram, a bit harsh though. Having said that, linux developers still need to change the error message to help the users understand clearly that there is a ram issue as oppose to a missleading CD / DVD error but also there should still be a way to bypass the error and continue the installation of the OS because we know that windows can operate just fine on the faulty ram. I replaced the RAM and it works just fine. I want to thank this thread anyway because it was the one that lead me to understand that there might be a ram issue in the equation but when people in this thread are suggesting to remove 1 ram and got it to work, they most definatly removed the faulty ram, its not because it was a trick to remove one and keep the other to fool the OS.

[Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
I tried to install ubuntu 10.04 in a Fujitsu Amilo M7440. The dvd drive did not work, so I had to install using a usb drive. I tried to install lots of versions ubuntu, debian, xubuntu... no way. Finally I found a strange solution from other forum, it worked but I do not know why: I wrote zeros in the partition where I wanted to install ubuntu. So: a) First I boot with a ubuntu 10.04 in live mode from the a usb drive. You have to write live when the boot: prompt appears. b) Once booted, open a terminal, and write: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXY, where X is the letter of the disk and Y is the number of partition where you want to install ubuntu, e.g., /dev/sda1. If you are not sure of which it is, write sudo fdisk -l to list all of the partitions. c) Now, try to install in the usual way. This worked for me, good luck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245794 Title: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-installer/+bug/245794/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
Okay, I know the developers don't care a bit about this bug (devs: if you're offended, good. Take that anger and apply it towards fixing the bug and proving me wrong), but here is what I went through with it and my resolution. I was installing 11.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1720 with a bad internal DVD drive. Since I knew the drive was bad, I performed an install via LiveUSB. It seemed to set up the partitions correctly and install at least some of the files, but then it would pop up with the Errno5 dialog. It would then go straight to the live mode. I tried the steps listed here, including messing with the installed RAM, but no dice. I installed Fedora for awhile, but decided I couldn't stand it and started trying again with Ubuntu. I realized that the answers had something in common: the submitter being told to burn the disc at a lower speed. I knew the dvd drive was bad, so I tried something radical: I removed the dvd drive from the laptop. Lo and behold, it worked. So, why in the world would a USB install be dependent on a DVD drive at all? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245794 Title: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-installer/+bug/245794/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
I tried to install Ubuntu with every suggestion in this thread to no avail. What worked for me was; 1. running ‘try ubuntu’ with noacpi 2. after on desktop run gparted 3. delete partition that you are going to install / on 4. add 5 Mib to the preceding and following entry boxes 5. and format to desired fs, I used btrfs 6. then run the installer and select the option to choose your own partition table 7. choose the partition, hit change, choose the same fs you formatted to in gparted, choose / and DO NOT check format box 8. click ok forward...or whatever to finish installing I guess my problem was the partitioning portion of the installation. I remember there used to be a ‘round to next cylinder’ (I think that is what it was) check box in the fs section that isn’t there anymore and the 5 MiB on either side of the partition corrected for that. I am not very smart on partitioning so anyone who knows what I mean please correct me and put it into tech terms.

So far most everyone on this topic has been able to overcome the error by removing RAM sticks and replacing them after installation completes.

[Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
Hi Guys. I had the same problem as you. In my case the installer stoped at about 30% with the same messagebox. Firstly, I should check if RAM is OK but I missed that because the messagebox informed me that the problem is Input/Output error, so I thought that the problem is connected with Hard Drive or CD/DVD drive. By the way I checked if CD is burnt correctly by using LiveCD check integrity. I burnt a lot of copies of Ubuntu 9.10/9.04 and I even use a copy brought by Canonical. Mostly I had an error with 1 file. I connected other CD drive and checked integrity and there were no errors, I thought that is a good path to solve the problem, but it wouldn't. I switched Hard Drive and with the new CD drive I started installing Ubuntu. The result was the same, Input/Output error. After that I read dci-Japan's post and I tried this solution. I've got 2 RAM modules (2x2GB). I turn on memtest and what I saw was good path to solve the problem, one of modules was faulty (because memtest showed that) but which one I had to find out by checking each one separately. In fact, one was faulty but the other was OK. I remove the faulty one and there were no installing errors. So, dci-Japan thank you a lot ;);) Oh ... I almost forget, someone told that removing RAM modules didn't help. I am not sure if this simple method is useful for anyone but you can try check memory by this test included in LiveCD and make sure if RAM is ok or not.

[Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
I encountered the same problem and attempted a number of solutions such as burning a slower CD, install a different CD-ROM player, answering the installation questions differently, and a variety of other measures - none fixed the problem. What was even stranger was the problem generally manifested itself at different points in the copying phase of the installation?!?!? All along I was googling for solutions until I found this thread. dci-Japan, when I read your posting, I had a hard time believing this would solve my problem, regardless I decided to give it a try. It worked! :-) dci-Japan, thank you for your efforts in diagnosing the problem and having arrived at a solution. Thanks must also be given to everyone else who participated and shared information and ideas. I was becoming quite frustrated with this issue thinking that perhaps I had a hardware issue on the motherboard, this would have caused quite some disruption to my upcoming Linux projects.

Ububtu 9.10 is installed finally, I tried all the above, what worked for me is having an external usb drive plugged in? In previous installs the ram thing worked, although this time it didn't -- have to try taking the other memory module out and putting the in the main memory slot. I never had a CD burn problem since I use USB installer. Before I would burn tons of CD's, redownload, burn... just to try to install. Still with both Ubuntu 9.04 , 9.10 and Mint 7 I have problems installing with the same i/o error?? I'll post results after trying the other ram module by itself. The other thing I'm noticing is that during install after partition selection, it says there are no users or other systems on the computer and I have two other 9.10 installs, also a Mint 7? One with /home from before and the other with only / specified. This installation is going to use the entire hd 160gb.

I wanted badly to contribute with my feedback regarding this stressing bug. First of all, I've never seen such issue before (7.x, 8.x). Recently I decide to download and burn Ubuntu 9.04 (DVD), sweep old installation and install the new one from the scratch. I've burned the dvd on Verbatim DVD+R (then I've tried also Sony DVD+R too, on slow speed) - in both cases dvd image burned ok (md5 sum is ok too). I've used check disk integrity (via Ubuntu menu when you boot from the DVD) and I get *no* errors. Then I've tried to install the OS, but I've got the same error every time on the same place (34% in my case when you goes in graphical mode) and then I can't do anything than start installation from the scratch. Once I've tried to install in text mode (via text menus) and everything was ok (i.e no errors like those) but I wasn't able to configure after installation the OS to start in graphical mode (it seems too much work to do the proper settings, what I normally receive with graphical installation, so I give up and installed without any issues the old version 8.10). So, on the bottom of this story I'm pretty sure that the DVD media is burned ok (proved with text mode installation), but it seems that graphical mode installer has some glitch that prevent at some point proper installation. I really need badly that this bug will be fixed in future releases (9.10?). Maybe reading method (DVD driver) does not try to use crc1/crc2 to recover.

Re: [Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
Hi Julian, If you want to have another go with 9.04, before trying the installation, remove 1 of the 2 Gb or RAM stick (I assume you have 2 nearly identical sticks). After the installation, just put back the stick. I know it sounds really weird, but it worked for me and some other Ubuntu user, including the genius who have figure it out. The reason of this problem seems to be related to some difference on the memory sticks. That is, 2 identical sticks, but from different brands, must still have a small difference, which trigger this nasty problem. I leave to others, much more competent of me, to explain it and possibly find the solution.

I mean that you can read anywhere this disk on any OS without read errors, but not in the installer. -- [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245794 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.

The Most Cost-effective Solution After I did some google on this error and decided to try all these solutions. Finally, what worked for me was to simply go the nearest shop and buy Verbatim CD-R and burn the ubuntu ISO again. Please note that the Live CD installation works well with Verbatim CD's. I have burned more than 15 CDs of (inferior brands) and tried installations with no luck until I used this disk.

[Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
I've been fighting the same issue for several days. I tried different versions (from 8.04 to 8.10), i386 and amd64 architectures, different media etc. I suspected that my farm of CD/DVD drives has been damaged (i got different errors at different stages, this is just one of them), so finally i created bootable live USB flash. As that gave error too, i started searching. So, removing some memory modules helped. I had 4 pieces of Kingston KVR800D2N5/1G. Two of them have ELPIDIA chips, two are with Kingston chips. Who would have thought that leaving Kingston chips wouldn't even run X, but leaving ELPIDIA chips would work. I'll probably do full memtest on them, but few initial tests passed. So, i have log from install failure, i suspect that it's related to SquashFS (full log attached). I also recall seeing different squashfs errors on booting from CD's.

[Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
Installing Ubuntu 8.10 [Errno 5] My Success Story My solution to [Errno 5] on Ubuntu install was to remove some RAM modules. I had great trouble installing 8.10 to my computer (model: HP d330). It took me three days and countless hours researching around the internet. Here is my success story. I downloaded the ISO and attempted to install from the Live CD. The following error appeared at about 24% of install process: [Errno 5] Input/output error This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment. 1. Attempted reburn CD-R at slower speed. Same error. 2. Attempted install with Alternate CD. Same problem (it froze up somewhere in copy files to disk process). 3. Attempted boot from Live CD and double click Install. NO GO. Wouldn't even start process. 4. Repeated all the above in various ways. Same results. 5. Tried changing the various choices under F6 on boot-up. Freeze or same error. 6. Live CD then begin to hang on boot from CD. Couldn't get anything to do anything. 7. Attempted to install from Flash card (using separate PC to set it up). Booted fine, but same error on install. 8. Attempted many solutions offered on various forums online. Still no luck. 9. Tried noapic options and others to no avail. 10. Tried repartitioning hard drive, and wiping hard drive and etc. etc. etc. 11.Gave up and installed Windows XP. Hated it (as usual). Waited several hours. Kept repeating all the above plus anything I could think of. Redownload ISO. Burn at slower speeds. Try Alternate CD. Try Flash card again. NO LUCK. Fiddle with various settings again. And then I used the little grey cells in my head (as Poirot would say in an Agatha Christie novel). I remembered someone somewhere suggested RAM error as the culprit. I ran the memory test without a problem (that took many hours!), but still I was supicious about the memory. My PC has four memory slots but with 3 actually memory sticks. 256Mb (original memory stick that came with computer) + 1Gb (cheap no brand stick added later) + 1GB (another added no brand stick). I simply took out the two 1Gb stick and left only the original 256Mb stick and attempted an install. Bang! It worked. No error. No problem (except it was as slow as molassis to install...). After the successful install, I replaced the 2Gb of memory and rebooted. Everything worked out. RAM modules might be faulty but everything seems fine. I'm not sure if this solution will help everyone. The cause of [Errno 5] might be different for each machine, and sometimes just trying a million attempts leads to an eventual success. But in my case, removing most of the RAM solved the problem. Finally I can get on with enjoying Ubuntu 8.10. -- [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
I can reproduce this error with Intrepid. I have encountered this error in 7.10 and 8.04 desktop and alternate cd too. 7.04, however, has completed the installation. I believe the error is not correlated to faulty memory or hard drive, since it stops always at the same percentage, and everything is working fine when doing everything else. Moreover, after searching on the forums, I notice that a lot of people who has this problem is doing the installation over an old version (this is my case too).

[Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
I face exactly the same problem. However, I dont think there is any problem with RAM or the DVD drive. I installed Ubuntu 7.04 and it installs just fine. So, I reckon there should not be any problem with the RAM. The Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD boots just fine, the check the CD for defects also does not report any errors. This indicates that the CD is fine.

Found this on another forum, maybe it is a solution: Re: [Errno 5] Input/output error I was having the same problem (for 8.04), but got past it. I got the livecd and alternate install ISOs off torrent, burned to CD and verified the livecd. I initially tried an upgrade of 7.04 using the alternate CD, something botched that (not sure what), so decided to do a fresh install and deal with getting my stuff re-installed, etc. Installing from livecd failed with the errno 5 about 3 times, consistently. I then ran diagnostics on my disks, both of which passed (although the disk I was /not/ installing to was running hot). I noticed in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto that they recommend to burn the livecd at the slowest speed. Not sure why this would make a difference, given the first livecd I had passed verification, but I tried it (and actually burned the CD on a different CD burner on another machine). The install from that CD completed. So it may have been writing the CD slowly, or it may have been the different CD burner.
