Help!!! "Please include /var/log/netinstall.log..." #51

Open minhlevn opened 8 years ago

minhlevn commented 8 years ago

I want to install Ubuntu into SDCard for beagleboard xm. I used netinstall of RobertCNelson, but when I finished, it announced that "Please include /var/log/netinstall.log from RootFileSystem". And when I inserted my SD card into Beagleboard xm, it booted but at step of Choose a mirror, It messaged "/var/log/......" again. What should I do with this problem? How can I include netinstall.log as the message? Thank you.

I finished install with messages:

Finished populating Boot Partition

mk_mmc.sh script complete

Script Version git: e5934ae

Reporting Bugs: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall/issues Please include: /var/log/netinstall.log from RootFileSystem

Then I inserted my SDCard into Beagleboard xM. Until "[!!] Choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive" step, It messaged: "Bad Archive mirror. incorrect mirror specified, mirror is not available; mirror is broken,.... Additional details available in /var/log/syslog or on virtual console 4"

Actually, I didn't fill any name on "Ubuntu archive mirror hostname" or on "Ubuntu archive mirror directory". It hold me on this step.

This 

"Bad Archive mirror. incorrect mirror specified, mirror is not available; mirror is broken,.... Additional details available in /var/log/syslog or on virtual console 4"

could be a bad network connection, or ubuntu.com could be having network problems*.. Please verify which "--distro xyz" option you selected and i'll verify it tomorrow..

Regards,

Note: if it's ubuntu's network problem, there's not much we can really do, except wait till they fix it..
