It seems like this error is often memory-related, but the error messages indicate it's usually bad media. Is it possible to add the possibility of bad memory to the error message? The pop-up error I got was:
"The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 5] Input/output error This 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." But dmesg had the following: [ 1228.553400] kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds [ 1228.553598] EXT3 FS on sda5, internal journal [ 1228.553605] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Otherwise people are chasing the idea that the media is bad when it isn't. -- SQUASHFS error while booting from live cd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172937 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
