I'm new to Linux and just installed ubuntu 12.04 amd64 this month. I had failed to install Texlive with texlive2012 iso image.
I used the recommended command to mount:
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop,noauto /your/texlive2012.iso /mnt
But the installer failed to read some file. The iso is fine, I checked the md5.
I extracted everything from iso with archive manager and it installed successfully.
So, why mount is not working?
With furius iso mount tool, mount with Fuse, and it installed.
(mount first time, installed with warning, mount again, installed well.)
While mount with Loop, it failed to install.
Updated Error message from terminal, mounted with furius iso mount, loop.

I am sure that the iso is fine. I can open it with archive manager and all files are good. But after mounting it, even archive manager failed to open some files (which can be opened when the iso is opened in archive manager).
I think I'll just mount with fuse in the future.

Please edit your question to include the error messages you get. Without them we can't possibly help.
– Nifle – 2012-08-31T06:50:48.947added error message from install-tl. – Chao – 2012-08-31T07:26:56.847
1Have you verified that you have enough space in your
/tmpto extract the files? – Nifle – 2012-08-31T07:33:08.613Yes, I installed to /home/xx/tex-xxx before, similar error. Archive manager can't open that error file too. – Chao – 2012-08-31T07:37:03.460
1Then it sounds like the file
harvard.doc.taris broken/corrupt. Can you try to untar it manually and see if tar complains. – Nifle – 2012-08-31T07:42:06.337Yes, it may be broken, but only when it's mounted. Open iso in archive manager and it's good. – Chao – 2012-08-31T08:04:46.613
Can you please check the md5 sum of the
archive/harvard.doc.tar.xzfile? (should be5763db1e94fe9def6ce784a04114e899 harvard.doc.tar.xz). You can try to extract it and check the md5 sum of the tar file (57401e2b9972567b3025bf1925f1d460 harvard.doc.tar) – Matteo – 2012-08-31T08:09:42.703Please show how you mount the ISO file (the link you provide is broken) – Matteo – 2012-08-31T08:10:30.707
the md5 of the iso is correct, so everything in the iso should be correct. And it's not always 'harvard.doc', it would be another file if mount again. – Chao – 2012-08-31T08:12:21.747
link corrected, also added the command pattern. – Chao – 2012-08-31T08:14:56.807
@Chao Yes but checking the md5 of the file would tell us if the mount has problems or your xz or tar programs. – Matteo – 2012-08-31T08:21:58.587
@Chao Any errors in /var/log/messages? – Matteo – 2012-08-31T08:22:35.463
I did not see the file: /var/log/messages – Chao – 2012-08-31T08:36:21.493
What do you mean with " mounted with furius " – Matteo – 2012-08-31T11:02:24.693
"furius iso mount tool" is a gui program to mount iso files, I installed it today. It has a mount option of Fuse or Loop. – Chao – 2012-08-31T14:03:45.403
