Corrupted Images 1 year 9 months ago #1238

DrTeeth OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 10	Hi, The 64-bit KDE and XFCE images seem to be corrupt. I have downloaded them both twice, but I cannot open the ISOs, which I can do if they are not corrupt. The utility that I use to make a bootable pen drive uses 7-zip to extract files from the ISO and fails with these two. No issues with the Gnome 64 bit ISO. I can open the 'faulty' ISOs with ISO Buster. Please advise. DrT

DrTeeth OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 10	I have made some progress. I can extract the data from the ISO and make another. I can create a bootable USB stick, but I cannot change the language of Toorox to English. Update - I cannot even get to English with the ISO that is okay. I'm out of ideas so will have to give up unless some help can be forthcoming. DrT

fynn OFFLINE Gold Boarder Posts: 167 Thank you received: 6	hi Dr T, i don't understand what you do with iso buster!! to create a toorox live usb stick, there is a tool on the desctop. you can change the language in the bootscreen, hit tab and change the language from "de" to "en". You can also look here: toorox.de/index.php/de/forum/30-running-live/1224-livedvd-with-english-possible#1225 best regards fynn

I am quite capable of creating a USB boot disk and managed to do so AFTER dealing with the bad ISOs. Could not change the language no matter what I did. DrT

BTW, the ISOs were downloaded several times with the same results.

The corrupt ISOs could not be examined or extracted by a standard decompression utility. Only the Gnome spin was okay.

The md5sums was not checked as the ISOs were not usable and d/l several times.

I deal with many Linux distros and currently have 9 installed on my home network, 5 on my main PC alone. All were installed without any issue.

rolandx1 OFFLINE Expert Boarder Posts: 155 Thank you received: 5	i use linux a lang time and i never extracted isos with a "standard decompression utility", and say iso is not usable (in your usual way) and not checking md5sum is hm.... difficulty. you can try unsquashfs, maybe it works. or isohybrid (version 3.6+) i cant believe you are the only one person who work with a corrupted iso :)

This is why the usual utils to make a bootable USB stick fail as they all 'extract' the file first. Toorox ISOs are the only Linux ISOs that have this issue - I have over 10 distros installed across my various PCs.

You're right! Everything that relies on 7-Zip fails, because 7 -Zip always refuses to open the file, even when MD5 sums match!

This is the first time I had this kind of problem.
