When I try to install Trisquel 5, I always get a message after the first
two initial installation screen that 'ubi-paatman failed with exit code 141.
I'm trying to install Trisquel on Asus U46. I installed Ubuntu 11.10
without a glitch (except I had to turn off VT-d from the bios).
I've tried both to install from a CD and a USB flash drive. Same problem.

Has anyone encountered such problem and/or found a fix?

Thanks,

Chris

hmm same error on USB flah and CD? You might just want to check the hash on the image. Maybe it got corrupted during download.

Try downloading the 5.5 version of Trisquel too (it isn't actually ready yet although there are some nightly images you can download). 5.0 is based on 11.04 with an older kernel and driver set. So 5.5 might solve this issue.

Or install 4.5 and upgrade?

Thanks! I'll either try 4.5 or 5.5 tonight. We'll see if that works! :-)

Did you check the md5sum? of the iso file?

Hi,

Thanks for all the posts. yes, I have checked it and it's the correct
one. I also downloaded it multiple times. The issue is not the image, it
is that ubi-partman fails while attempting to detect the partitions. I
have a few partitions in there, one that is /home and that i want to
keep. I also had a windows partition in case I needed to return it, and
I can get rid of it. If nothing works I'll just wipe the whole hard
drive. But I was thinking of updating the ubiquity package with a more
recent version first (since there is no issue with ubuntu 11.10). Not
sure if it will work.

It didn't work for me using default Trisquel repositories a month ago.

What happen if your try to prepare the partition with GParted (which is the Live CD, probably in the System/Administration menu)?

Are you able to get to the live environment and it is only after the installation completes that it won't boot?

Hi:

After deleting the Windows 7 partition all went fine. I was able to
install Trisquel :-D. Thanks all for your support!
