Ronald Haynes Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi folks, well I downloaded and burnt an dvd pwp iso of 2008.1 I booted to the disk and chose an upgrade from 2007.1 All went well with loading the packages but then the install failed shortly after a message about Post Install Config was displayed. Just a second after that I got a message on the screen saying Undefined subroutine &MDK::Common::System::uniq called If I hit o.k. then it takes me back to the screen where it allows you to add media, if I run through the process again this time it realizes that the packages have been upgraded so it is quick and takes me directly to the Post Install Config where it fails at the same point. Before the burn I did a md5sum check on the iso and all was well. What do you think is happening? Did I get a bad burn? Or something else? This has been confirmed by other users, see http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=84053 for other users stories. Any help would be appreciated!

Ronald Haynes Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Problem is widespread and according to various threads about it on the other site Mandriva is looking into and will make an announcement about the situation.

Penguin Geek Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I had the same thing happen with 2008.1 Free. It was an upgrade, and ended up just rebooting. The install was complete, since the only steps left to do was install the boot loader, set up user accounts, and install updates (what updates? it was just released!). Since it was an upgrade, there was nothing else to do. I can use 2008.1 with no issues. I feel sorry for those doing a clean install though, cause they would be out of luck.

arctic Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 AdamW wrote in the Mandriva forum: initial results seem to be that at the point where it fails, the upgrade is basically complete except: a) the new kernel is not installed b) old kde-config package is not removed so if you have encountered this problem already, you should be able to get a fully-working system by booting the 'upgraded' system and manually updating the kernel and removing the old kde-config package (and making sure a new one is installed). Quick solution by another user: My 2 solutions I did on different systems were- to manually fix the symlinks and grub config and reinstall grub (w/o the need of installing kernel-desktop-latest package, it was already installed) - to uninstall kernel-desktop-latest and install it again - it installed grub as well. This was easier and gave good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
