Fails to install linux

[littlegamer87]

Hello theypsilon,

I'd like to report an issue where the downloader halts when updating linux for about a month. I don't see anyone else reporting this so I thought I should share. The downloader.log doesn't really reveal what went wrong, the error is the same as seen on display. Any tips on how to proceed?

ERROR! Could not uncompress the linux installer.

You seem to have a corrupted 7za because that Segmentation fault is not normal. In fact, it's the first time I see it and it should never happen during normal operation. If it keeps happening I think the safest way for you to proceed is backing up your files from the SD and formatting it again with mr-fusion.

[sorgelig]

make sure it's enough free space on SD card/partition

[littlegamer87]

Thank you both for your reply.
Would like to share a remark that this is a fresh install. I replaced the microsd card to 512GB since Mister now has PSX and Saturn cores with CD based images, so the 8GB included card wasn't going to cut it for the long term. I will try backing up and reinstalling and report back.

[sorgelig]

It's possible that partition wasn't expanded to full SD card. In Menu core you can see amount of free space on SD card.

[littlegamer87]

Confirmed reinstalling with mr-fusion resolved the issue
Root cause was likely using Mister SD card utility instead of mr-fusion for installation

Thanks for the advice!
