I’m installing Fedora 44 KDE to dual boot with Windows but the installation fails at 96% with the message:

org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.PayloadInstallationError: Failed to install image: process '['rsync', '-pogAXtlHrDx', '--stats', '--info=flist2,name,progress2', '--no-inc-recursive', '--exclude', '/dev/', '--exclude', '/proc/', '--exclude', '/tmp/*', '--exclude', '/sys/', '--exclude', '/run/', '--exclude', '/boot/*rescue*', '--exclude', '/boot/loader/', '--exclude', '/boot/efi/', '--exclude', '/boot/grub2/', '--exclude', '/etc/sysconfig/', '--exclude', '/usr/lib/grub/', '--exclude', '/etc/machine-id', '--exclude', '/etc/machine-info', '/run/install/sources/mount-0000-live_os_image/', '/mnt/sysroot']' exited with status 23

More Info:

  • Partition to install is 96 GB
  • Checksum is vaild
  • Using Fedora Media Writer
  • Memory and USB is ok

(Sorry,I’m not good at English)

rsync error 23 means only: Partial transfer due to error
It would be nice to have the full log of this rsync call.

Normally, “installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation”
If you can identify the related file for example like this:

  • grep -rl rsync.*exit.*23 /tmp

then paste this file with: fpaste /tmp/THE_FILE_FOUND

Bruh,I’m booting into the fedora live and it just says Check Fail at 4.8%,when I haven’t touched the USB since post this,I think I will use another USB.

This is a common issue. Try selecting “Start Fedora…” option instead of the default “Test this media & Start Fedora…”

For finding the proper log related to this error in tmp, do perhaps a
more general search like: grep -rl rsync /tmp

I found 3 file:
/tmp/journal.log
(can’t upload)
/tmp/anaconda-webui.log
https://paste.centos.org/view/e09f4534
/tmp/packaging.log
(can’t upload too)

The journal.log shows a lot of errors like:

Jun 02 12:16:26 localhost-live org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Payloads[5428]: DEBUG:anaconda.modules.payloads.payload.live_image.installation:rsync output: rsync: [sender] read errors mapping "/run/install/sources/mount-0000-live_os_image/usr/share/doc/HTML/nl/kaddressbook/index.docbook": Structure needs cleaning (117)

Jun 02 12:16:24 localhost-live kernel: erofs (device loop0): readahead error at folio 6 @ nid 36006484

and the packaging.log shows also the Structure needs cleaning rsync messages.

I suspect thus that your USB is corrupted. Can you try another one (as you suggested)?
