Kubuntu 12.04 Alternate CD missing file

[dbrossard]

Using the Alternate CD to do an upgrade to 12.04 and not used the network there are missing files:

A quick find shows differently named files in the image:

brossard@daemon:/media$ find . -name \*xserver-xorg-video-radeon_6.14.99\*
./pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-ati/xserver-xorg-video-radeon_6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubunt.deb

Downloading the kubuntu precise i386 ISO and mounting it, I see:

$ find /mnt/ -name \*xserver-xorg-video-radeon_6.14.99\*
/mnt/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-ati/xserver-xorg-video-radeon_6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
$

This looks to me like you've mounted the CD with the wrong mount options for extended filenames, not like a bug in the CD image. If the filenames were wrong, it would also impact users' ability to install from it at all, and no one reported any such problems. What are the mount options you're using for this CD?

This may appear to be the issue. A USB device was created using (what now
appears to be older) instructions on the Ubuntu site. The device is
formated as fat32. I believe it should not be limited by the number of
charaters in those files names but that may be the case.

There are several different methods listed on this web page. Which method did you use?

The preferred method, usb-creator, should not have given you a fat filesystem. So you've wound up with a corrupted image here.

I encountered this bug when doing an installation of ubuntu alternate amd64 from a USB stick. The USB-Stick was created using UNetbootin. (As usb_creator didn't work for me).

A workaround that worked for me is: (from Bug #976509)

On your USB-drive:
- cd to "pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-ati/"
- Make sure all files end with the " _amd64.deb" (or _i386.deb if your'e on i386) extention. If not rename them!
- Do the same in "pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau"
- Installation will now proceed without errors
