Installation Failed - Installer searching for 'plymouth-plugin-script...' file that does not exist

Hello All! While trying to install UTM on a Dell Optiplex GX520, I get to step 3 of 6 and then it fails. 

According to the log:

bootstrap: system: install /install/install/rpm/ep-up2date-9.35-7-g219fd45.rb1.i686.rpm /dest/opt/inst/rpm/ep-up2date-9.35-7-g219fd45.rb1.i686.rpm

bootstrap: system: returned with exit status 0

bootstrap: system: install /install/install/rpm/plymouth-plugin-script-0.8.8_git201309032142-5.17.1322.g0e019d3.rb1.i686.rpm /dest/opt/inst/rpm/plymouth-plugin-script-0.8.8_git201309032142-5.17.1322.g0e019d3.rb1.i686.rpm

bootstrap: install: can't stat '/install/install/rpm/plymouth-plugin-script-0.8.8_git201309032142-5.17.1322.g0e019d3.rb1.i686.rpm' : No such file or directory

bootstrap: system: returned with exit status 1

bootstrap: END screen 'inst_rpm_copy"

bootstrap: END task 'installation'

bootstrap: START task 'fail'

bootstrap: START screen 'fail'

 

Okay, that's clear enough. So I open up my USB drive (created using LiLi USB creator using iso file asg-9.351-3.1.iso) and navigate to the /rpm folder and can see that indeed that file is missing. Here is what is in the /rpm directory:

plymouth-0.8.8_git201309032142-5.17.1322.g0e019d3.rb1.i686.rpm

plymouth-plugin-script-0.8.8_git201309032142-5.17.1322.g0e019d3

plymouth-scripts-0.8.8_git201309032142-5.17.1322.g0e019d3.rb1.i6

It looks like the installer is calling for a mix between the two files. The "plymouth-plugin-script" file does not include ".rb1.i686.rpm" in the name, which the installer is looking for. 

Can I rename the "plymouth-plugin-script..." file from my install media from "plymouth-plugin-script-0.8.8_git201309032142-5.17.1322.g0e019d3" to the name the installer is looking for? Will this cause other problems? Why is this file named incorrectly or why is the installer looking for an alternative, seemingly mixed-and-matched file name other than what is available?

Thanks!

  • Hi PaulSmith1,

    I too have faces this issues several times using NetBootIn or other tools to copy the Contents of Sophos UTM iso file to a usb pen drive.
    For me the only solution was a final unzipping of the iso file via 7Zip and ensuring all files end with *.rpm in the rpm Folder.

    Nevermind I am not sure why some extract-programs have issues there.

    The "hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)" is a message I have seen on all Systems and therfore I think it can be ignored.
