Install from Ubuntu 32-bit mini.iso 14.04 fails during download of components

[swajime]

I'm attempting to install from the mini.iso 32-bit image of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
During the download of components, the install fails. It downloaded several files before failing.

The dialog box says: The installer failed to download a file from the mirror. This may be a problem with your network, or with the mirror. You can choose to retry the download, select a different mirror, or cancel and choose another installation method. Downloading a file failed: [Retry][Change mirror][Cancel]"

Here is the tail of /var/log/syslog:

Thanks in advance for anybody who can help,

All those links work for me...you could have caught those repos in a temp non-working state.
Maybe try again and also check MDsum of the iso that was burned.

I've tried this from two different computers with the same results.
I'm installing to a VirtualBox vm.

md5 mini.iso
MD5 (mini.iso) = a2502844750ecb6477d8fb4ff6b9aaf8

Thanks,

When I drop to a shell from the install menu, and try to use wget for any URL, it segfaults.

I am Down-loading the 32 bit mini-iso now.
Will report shortly.

[QDR06VV9]

Have you tried to download and use the mini.iso from the links recommended in mini.iso, minimal install, netboot iso (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2230389&p=13211730#post13211730)?

I myself have not tried that yet.
But Good and Bad news here.
1.The Bad being the 32 bit mini-iso for 14.04 won't work in a V Box.(trying all kinds of different things Network, Mirrors, different network devices)
2.The Good Xenial 32bit mini-iso works as expected.
So maybe a bug needs to be filed against the trusty(14.04LTS 32bit) mini-iso D-load link. Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
Any way i hope this is useful.

I think you (runrickus) or I can edit that help page (if it turns out that we should replace the link with a better one).

Looking for a good link now.:D

@swajime I used this link and it worked. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/14.04/
For my install i used the 14.04 with wily's 4.2 HWE kernel (supported until August 2016)

Let us know to confirm a good link.
Kind Regards

The image at that link worked.

Thank you for helping out with this.

Your Welcome.

I edited the help page with the faulty mini.iso files: General link that seems reliable (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD#General_link_that_seems_reliable)

Now I'm waiting for a reaction from the maintainer of that page :-P
