Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
Can not install Broadcom STA wireless driver package "bcmwl-kernel-source" in a fresh install of Lucid Beta 2 because there is an error in installing initram-fs
(bcmwl-kernel-source is correctly detected as a wireless card hardware driver)
ProblemType: Package

Title: package initramfs-tools 0.92bubuntu71 [modified: usr/sbin/update-initramfs] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 |
[Problem]
This bug appears because on live systems, new initrds are written to /cdrom/casper/initrd.lz.new (see special treatment of live systems in /usr/sbin/update-initramfs starting from line 9).
If you create a persistent live system via Startup Disk Creator and pull the "How much" slider to the right as far as possible (what seems sensible for most cases and users), all space not used for the system is allocated for that documents-and-settings-ext2-file and there is no space left on /cdrom. Therefore update-initramfs fails with that cryptic lzma error code.
Perhaps Startup Disk Creator should leave some spare space on the live medium even if the user chooses "use all remaining space available for my live medium".

See also bug #685017 which describes one (unfortunately common) end result of this. Installation of a binary driver can overrun the available space and thus error (and potentially render the usb key useless).

[Problem]
When dragging the "How much" slider all the way to the right, it may leave very little room left for system file updates. This can produce errors when trying to a) do a system update, b) install kernel drivers, c) anything else that requires system space outside the persistent storage.
This can also be seen on smaller USB drives (~1 GB) even if no persistent storage is present, just because there isn't that much space available to begin with.
[Discussion]
This bug appears because on live systems, new initrds are written to /cdrom/casper/initrd.lz.new (see special treatment of live systems in /usr/sbin/update-initramfs starting from line 9).
If you create a persistent live system via Startup Disk Creator and pull the "How much" slider to the right as far as possible (what seems sensible for most cases and users), all space not used for the system is allocated for that documents-and-settings-ext2-file and there is no space left on /cdrom for system file updates. Therefore update-initramfs fails with that cryptic lzma error code.
You might see different error messages depending on what process noticed the out-of-space issue. For instance, maybe there was enough space to update initramfs but not add the new kernel.
Perhaps Startup Disk Creator should leave some spare space on the live medium even if the user chooses "use all remaining space available for my live medium".
