[SOLVED] Error with installation: Cat and 2 others
« on: April 26, 2013, 09:03:51 PM »
Hello everyone, glad to be here, trying out Ubermix! Or at least trying to try out Ubermix. I am trying to install it into Virtualbox (silly me, never downloaded the ova and now I'm on a slower internet connection) and, well, it isn't woking.

My setup:
USB drive with IMG file applied to it in USB port
PloP boot manager to boot from the USB drive after attaching it to the VM


It boots the drive alright, tells me to press ESC to enter the menu, prompts me for 1-5, etc. However, when I try to image the system in any way, it throws a couple of errors that I hope someone can help me out with:

cat: read error: Input/output error
sh: -lt: argument expected
cat: read error: Input/output error
Imaging process complete[...]

and, of course, Ubermix doesn't actually start after rebooting. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

SOLVED!

My problems were: 1. Wrong hard disk image (the one I used was too small)
2. Don't use options 1,2, or 3. Use option 4 to install.

Sounds like the original image was bad. Should be able to use any of the options to install - option 4 just does 1 followed by 2 all at once. 2 just adds a few files to 1.

It is strange behavior, but as long as an option worked, I'm happy. ::)
