Error installing on ubuntu

[#1]

Hi,

I am trying to install using the cloudera manager installer. It is failing with the following error:

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.cloudera.com/gplextras/ubuntu/precise/amd64/gplextras/dists/precise-gplextras4/Releas... Unable to find expected entry 'contrib/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

dave

From what it looks like, you have 32 bit ubuntu installed, we only support 64bit installation at this point.

I am facing the same issue in a 64 bit version ubuntu too. Is this issue resolved?

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The message says it cannot find "contrib/binary-i386" which means the OS might be 32-bit. Are you able to show us the output of "uname -a"?

Could you show us the output of /etc/apt/sources.list please?

sources.list contains repos for "trusty" whereas the earlier post was
looking at wheezy-cdh5. So I am a bit confused here. How did you
encounter the error message regarding Wheezy?

[#10]

wget http://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/installer/latest/cloudera-manager-installer.bin
chmod u+x cloudera-manager-installer.bin
sudo ./cloudera-manager-installer.bin

I followed these steps.
