Wesnoth_MacOSX No mountable file systems

Post by eviloc1 »

I am running OSX 10.3.9 and what I thought was a binary version of Battle for Wesnoth 1.4.2 gives me the above message on trying to open it. A similar thing has happened before, but is usually resolved quickly. I have tried four times now and it seems that I am not getting what I have expected from the download. I have an earlier version that is working for me.
Help!
Thank you.

What program did you use to download?

The problem is probably due to an incomplete download. When I uploaded this binary, I had the same problem when downloading with Speed Download, but using Safari worked fine. Ensure that you have a stable internet connection when downloading. If your problem persists, I'll post an MD5sum for you check.

EDIT: I've downloaded and it worked. This is the md5: afb076cb83ce783819094ad6d75b2edf. Open terminal and type "md5". Drag the dmg into the terminal window and type enter. The value should be the same.
Take a breath.

I originally was using Camino when I first encountered this problem so I switched to Firefox and encountered the same problem. I don't think it is the downloading aspect. The md5 check outs.

Here are my system specs:

OS 10.3.9
700 MHz G4 iMac
768 MB RAM

Thanks for your suggestions. This has happened before, but I need to try Safari or Firefox. I was using Camino.

1 other question that I forgot to ask:

Was the downloaded .dmg the same size as stated in the download page?

If it is (with same md5 value), then it's a build issue. If not, then it's probably a download issue (I'd still recommend Safari as I myself downloaded the dmg before making the previous post).
Take a breath.

It is the exact same size and the exact same MD5. I have now tried downloading it multiple times with Safari, Firefox, and Camino.

Sorry for the frustration, this is probably the problem. Thanks to Ivanovic for notifying me.

I'll try to get a fixed version up tomorrow.

EDIT: this problem applies to you too eviloc1.

I have a 400MHz G4 and 1 GB of RAM. Safari did not download a dmg with mountable file systems, either. It is the same size as I was led to expect. For reasons of unfamiliarity with the Terminal, perhaps, I was unable to compare md5 values (got "No such file or directory").

Downloaded from MacUpdate v. 1.5 yesterday. The Wesnoth Web site tells me that there are no v. 1.5 binaries yet, but has v. 1.4.2; this gives me a lite version of 1.4.2 (~70 MB). When I looked at anakayub's final post to the forum on this issue and follow the link he gives, I am then able to download what is identified as v.1.4.2 of the expected size (158 MB).
Thanks, anakayub
