Message "does not seem to be a valid ISO9660 image" on Intrepid

I have committed a fix for this bug. Please checkout latest version using:
svn export https://uck.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/uck/trunk/uck

And check if the problem still exists.

seems like the problem still exists. i just did a svn export and freshly downloaded the kubuntu iso image:

File /home/------/Desktop/kubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso does not seem to be a valid ISO9660 image

:-(

It seems your MIME type database is broken. Please check your installation.

i thought that too, but it seems to be the original magic.mime yausing this errors:

when i edit the magic.mime file and comment out the mentioned lines, the errors vanish but the last line keeps the same:

the error message in uck still stays the same.

any other way to help you?

So it seems file utility has been changed and it is broken.
You can just comment out the lines with the check and you should be
fine. Just search for file --brief --mime in the source.

It's strange...I've downloaded Kubuntu Intrepid KDE4 beta and today I downloaded uck from svn. All works fine

It still happens for me. Tried uck 2.0.9, and svn with Kubuntu and Ubuntu Jaunty. Both i386 and amd64.

This also happens on Karmic Beta using uck-2.0.9 and the Ubuntu Karmic Beta iso (x86).

Fixable with the attached workaround

@Fabio: I cannot see any difference in uck-gui source code after applying your patch

@ Fabrizio: actually it does comment the check

ops you're right :-\

can someone please post the ouput of "file --brief --mime isoimage.iso"?
thank you

Fabrizio,

The output of the "file --brief --mime ubuntu-9.10-beta-desktop-i386.iso" is as the following :

application/octet-stream; charset=binary

Samiux

but that's wrong cause it should be:

------------
file --brief --mime ubuntu-9.10-beta-desktop-i386.iso
application/x-iso9660-image
------------

does that iso boot?

Fabrizio,

I have make change to the uck-gui for ISO check as "application/octet-stream". It can pass the check. However, it cannot make the customized ISO and please find the attached "build.log" for reference.

By the way, as at 2.0.9 on 9.04, the tmp directory cannot be deleted after the built. It displayed the following error message. This also happened at 9.10 beta.

sudo rm -R tmp

rm: cannot remove directory `tmp/remaster-root/tmp/.X11-unix': device or system resources busy

Samiux

Fabrizio,

Although it is "application/octet-stream" instead of "application/x-iso9660-image", it boot flawless on my VirtualBox.

Samiux

Yes, it does

You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber
of the bug.

anyway that "file" output is still wrong and that's not our fault, i'll try to tell "does not seem to be a valid ISO, do you want to continue" i think it's a download problem, did you do an md5sum on that iso?

@Samiux: that's another bug introduced in karmic, are you using karmic?

Fabrizio,

I have double check with the md5sum with the official website. They are matched.

I am running 9.10 beta on VirtualBox and try to build a customized 9.10 beta ISO. However, it cannot be built.

Samiux

Fabrizio,

Maybe I express not very well. Let me try again.

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 beta on VirtualBox as guest. The host OS is Ubuntu 9.04.

I tried to build a customized Ubuntu 9.10 beta on the guest but failed.

Hi,

Is the debdiff still applicable? As it seems that in your last comment, the content is different.

Thanks,
Fabrice

hi, the debdiff should NOT be used

Fabrice, we're already working on this :)

Assigning to myself.

Unsubscribing u-u-s then :-)

Thanks,
Fabrice

in karmic nautilus the karmic beta cd is identified as 'application/x-cd-image' that uck will not recognize, but is indeed a valid iso that can be unpack.
also 'file --brief --mime' that /usr/bin/uck-gui uses responds:
application/octet-stream; charset=binary

I have this issue (or a very similar issue) on Karmic as well:

$ file --brief --mime ubuntu-9-10-rc-desktop-amd64.iso
application/octet-stream; charset=binary

$ file ubuntu-9-10-rc-desktop-amd64.iso
ubuntu-9-10-rc-desktop-amd64.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 ' (bootable)

Excuse but, where is the fix to download UCK fixed and working, I have Ubuntu Karmic installed and always appear the same error message, with Ubuntu Jaunty and Karmic ISOs, it doesn't work.
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

"status: Fix Committed → Fix Released", and where the heck is that fix?

Same problem appearing on UCK running on my newly installed Ubuntu 9.10 (32-bits) installation. I downloaded multiple .ISOs...but error message keeps appearing, and I know they are good ISO files since I created installation media from them and tested on multiple PCs to run the full installation

I also un-installed my Synaptic Package Manager version of UCK and downloaded Debian file from UCK's website....but same error appears on whatever ISO image I try to use on. This is obviously the new version of Ubuntu breaking up functionality of UCK....as it was working just fine on Ubuntu 9.04

Any help, anybody???????????

Hye, just to confirm the last post

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and couldn't open any of the 9.10 desktop Official .iso .

Thank you and good luck for the fix.

There is Development snapshot in Download section, it is fixed in SVN as 2.0.10.
But, there is no explanation on how to use it.

When I try to run it, I receive: "ERROR: you've to update version number in all man pages".
Verison number in VERSION is 2.0.10., and version in debian/changelog is 2.0.9.
Can you make a .deb version please?

I've changed version from all the man pages and when building appears the same error message :S
Maybe I should try to comment the part of build.sh where it checks it?

I had this bug on karmic, it is fixed by commenting the 4 iso checking lines in /usr/bin/uck-gui.
So i reached 3 step after that. but now it says : $> sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
So i will search how to fix in others threads :)
thanks for the patch :)

I'm still doesn't see any fixes for this problem.

 if [ "`file --brief --mime \"$ISO_IMAGE\" | grep \"application/x-iso9660\" | wc -l`" = "0" ] ; then
  dialog_msgbox "Not an ISO image" "File $ISO_IMAGE does not seem to be a valid ISO9660 image"
  continue
 fi

But the Iso's on my system appears as:

file --brief --mime ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso
application/octet-stream; charset=binary

Checksum of the iso is correct! But also my old hardy iso's are shown as "application/octet-stream; charset=binary"! Maybe it's an bug in "file"!?

Upss my mistake. Just backported uck from lucid! t works!

Thanks for all your hard work but...
I getting the same result:

 File /ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso does not seem to be a valid ISO9660 image

 $ file --brief --mime ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso
 application/octet-stream; charset=binary

I am running a fresh install of Karmic which was installed from the same ISO file.

I ran:
svn export https://uck.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/uck/trunk/uck
and tried again, same result.

I've got the same problem with the ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso

Just tried 2.0.13 from svn export https://uck.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/uck/trunk/uck on Karmic 9.10 with ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso and it works !

 does not seem to be a valid ISO9660 image

Is this still reproducible on Lucid?

There's version 2.0.12 in lucid at the moment, i can't reproduce the problem with that one either.
