Ubuntu Install to flashdrive (the creation of swap space in partition #3 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sdc) failed?

Coop_012 · 04-08-2018, 12:10 AM

So the weird thing is it doesn't matter in the order I make the partitions or what the partition is, I've tried to install Ubuntu LTS 16.04.4 multiple times and burned the image multiple times even with clean checksums, but I always get the same error code no matter the partition, any help would be appreciated! at the end of the iso it says amd even though im running Intel (i386 i think)

Code:

Error mounting /dev/sdb2 at /media/cooper/Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS amd641: Command-line `mount -t "iso9660" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500" "/dev/sdb2" "/media/cooper/Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS amd641"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

What have you done exactly?
Downloaded the iso image from here http://releases.ubuntu.com/ ?
Then written the iso image with a writer from some linux OS ?
And then tried to install from USB stick ?

These may help.

If you have verified the download, are you burning the iso as an image to a DVD? or are you trying to create a bootable usb drive? If the latter, what operating system are you using and what software are you using to create the bootable usb?

The error shows an incorrect attempt to mount the Ubuntu iso on sdb2 which doesn't look right. You can boot the Ubuntu iso from a specific partition if you have a correct entry in the installed systems Grub menu. I doubt you have that.

The iso you downloaded is 64bit and if you do have 32 but hardware, it won't work. Best verify what your hardware is and post details on how you have tried to make the iso bootable.

If the iso has amd at the end of the name, it's probably an amd64 platform disk. If you want the i386/i686 disk, download that one.

Okay and my goodness I think I figured it out lol, I was trying to install it to my boot drive instead of another flash drive...

even when I have plugged in a 4GB live boot drive and my 128 gb drive (the target) I still get the same error, I need to have this ready by tomorrow for a family member, I dont get what Im doing wrong.

You were asked a number of questions by previous posters and haven't answered any of them so there isn't much help you can get. If you burned the iso to a DVD or used proper software to create a bootable flash drive, there is no way you would get an error like that as there would be no reason to be mounting sdb2.

Ive tried the things above. It’s a 64 bit system, so I’m using the amd64, as the i386 didn’t work (I tried it) I put the iso on a flash drive and downloaded the iso from the source above. I also read fatmac’s suggestions and followed the steps. I ended up making an ext4 partition for my root on my mint machine using gparted because that is where the live installer tripped up, and I’m trying to install it again (it’s going through the process) I’ll let you know how it goes

Shoot, I clearly forgot to specify that the code I put up there is from when I plugged it into my Mint install to take a look at the partitioning, the error code I received in the live install is the title, sorry for the confusion
