Failed getting release file

Submitted by Id on 28 November 2008 - 12:29am.

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1. Moblin image creator seems to fetch something from "http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/hardy/Release"
but failed. This is the message :

Execing command: debootstrap --arch lpia --include=apt --components=main,restricted,universe,multiverse hardy /home/idz/Desktop/menlow2 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/
I: Retrieving Release
E: Failed getting release file http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/hardy/Release
--------Platform rootstrap creation failed result: 1 ----------
--------For try: 10. Sleeping for 30 seconds... -----------------

I was thinking to change the repository and direct moblin image creator to a new one but how to change the repository?

i have some doubts

Not being able to lauch MIC

Hi,
I am new to Moblin and trying to download and install MIC with Fedora 9.
It seems that I have successfully installed MIC; however, while I launched MIC, there was following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./image-creator", line 33, in
import SDK
ImportError: No module named SDK

It looks like that I missed something in my system; is there anyone who can guide my through it, please?
Thanks in advance.

BR,
Gorden.

The real image-creator executable is installed under /usr/sbin/image-creator.
You may either add /usr/sbin to the path or
$ sudo /usr/sbin/image-creator

Nice!

Adding /usr/sbin to the path did the trick for me. Thank you sir!
