gst-plugins-ugly - mounting failed: Invalid argument??

[mb0]

When i try to install gst-plugins-ugly it fails with the error:

Code: [Select]

mount: mounting /dev/loop134 on /tmp/tcloop/SDL failed: Invalid argument

 gst-plugins-ugly.tczI tried restarting but it was no help.

Hi mb0
Enter  md5sum /path/to/extension.tcz  and compare the result to  cat /path/to/extension.tcz.md5.txt

Hi mb0
Enter  md5sum /path/to/extension.tcz  and compare the result to  cat /path/to/extension.tcz.md5.txt

Which requires my eyes and brain to do the comparison, so on days when that sounds too difficult for me I let the CPU do the work:
    ( cd /path/to ; md5sum -c extension.tcz.md5.txt )   

[mb0]

there is no gst-plugins-ugly.tcz found..

@maro.. nice

EDIT: i manually downloaded it, checked the md5 (it matched) and still got the error (w/ tce-load that is!).

[mb0]

any ideas??

can anyone try it to see if there is a problem with the extension, or my end??

works fine for me on a couple of different machines

[mb0]

odd..

How should i go about debugging this then??

Hi mb0

mount: mounting /dev/loop134 on /tmp/tcloop/SDL failed: Invalid argument

I think the  "Invalid argument"  part of the error message might be important here. Hasn't this popped up before
because the wrong mount or losetup command was used by the system? Maybe try searching the forum for
something like   install Invalid argument    or    extension Invalid argument.

hmm.. found a few threads but no solutions

Try changing onboot.lst so it loads before util-linux.

[mb0]

??

I see no util-linux in onboot.lst.

To be clear, this message comes up when trying to install, and i don't think it completes.

no one has any suggestions?? ..I was really hoping to avoid a reinstall
