Adding to the above: 1. @waveform - thank you so much for the new image!!! - it works! Nothing has worked for me until now, even the initial ubuntu setup from sd card (tried other options: usb stick, sd card via usb adapter, nvme), no matter how I flashed it (r-imager, balenda etcher). I always ended up with failed installation pop-up window, without even displaying the graphic glitch with the progress bar. Now I have managed successfully to set ubuntu 24.04 lts on my pi from the sd card as well as the nvme! 2.

[Bug 2064208] Re: Installer crashes when booting from USB on Raspberry Pi
I loaded your 'test image' onto an NVMe SSD on a RPi 5, edited the config.txt file, and it worked! [RPi5 4 GB, Pimoroni Base, Samsung 256 GB PM9B1 SSD] I had tried all kinds of things over the last week, different NVMe cards, different imagers, all unsuccessfully. 24.04 running with the noticeable extra speed of a PCIe/NVMe is sweet! The only quirk, was that, even though I selected English (US) keyboard during the initial installation dialog, I ended up on an English (UK) keyboard. This was easily fixed by going to the settings/Keyboard and editing. I would suggest you add some kind of suffix or change to the file name, since, if this is going to be the only solution to NVMe or USB operation for a while, you don't want the confusion from two different functionality files with the same name out in the 'wild'.

[Bug 2064208] Re: Installer crashes when booting from USB on Raspberry Pi
I now have a test image that, using the patch from LP: #2037015, appears to fix the installer issue when booting from USB. If volunteers are interested in testing the image, I've made it available at: https://zoidberg.waveform.org.uk/images/ubuntu-24.04-preinstalled- desktop-arm64+raspi.img.xz The SHA256 of the image, for verification purposes, is b2718d9005a5ea6486b8512b6cf3974ce48ef879d1232a6dc88b2ccaa1dc3390 I've tested booting from two SD cards on both models and both appear fine; I've also tested USB boot on the Pi 4 (which worked happily) and tomorrow I should be able to test NVMe on a Pi 5. However, given the variability displayed by this bug already, the wider the variety of hardware tested, the better. Naturally, no workarounds should be in place when testing (leave the config.txt "as is"). If things work, please report the model and memory size of your Pi (e.g. Pi 4 4GB) and what you're booting from (SD card, SSD, NVMe). make+model of the boot media would be useful too, but largely to judge if we're covering a reasonable range of hardware. If things don't work, please report the above information, plus where in the procedure the crash occurred. If possible, re-flash and try to confirm if the crash occurs in the same place each time (we've already seen cases in this bug where "sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't"). ** Description changed: After writing the Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop for Raspberry Pi image to an SSD drive with a USB3 interface (specifically; this issue does not occur when booting from an SD card), booting the drive on a Pi 4 or Pi 5, and running through the installer to the point where the (corrupted) slide deck starts to display during setup, the installer crashes. [ Workaround ] + + A test image is now available; please see comment 1 below for details. At the time of writing, some workarounds have been found, but none that consistently work on all boards with all drives. One workaround that has worked on a Pi with a Samsung EVO SSD, and a Crucial SSD is as follows: Before booting the image, find config.txt on the boot partition, and the "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d" line within it. There will be two of these lines, you want the first one under an "[all]" section. Append ",cma-128" to the line. Specifically, the following section: dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d disable_fw_kms_setup=1 Should become: dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-128 disable_fw_kms_setup=1 Unmount the drive cleanly, boot it, and run through the installer. You may revert the change (if you wish) after successful installation. Another workaround, reported as working on a Pi 5 with an NVMe drive attached over PCIe: Before booting the image, find config.txt on the boot partition. Under the first "[all]" section append the following line: - dtparam=pciex1 + dtparam=pciex1 Unmount the drive cleanly, boot it, and run through the installer. Please note both workarounds have also been reported as failing with certain drive combinations. [ Background ] Given this crash occurs immediately upon the (corrupted) slide deck starting, that it only occurs when booting from USB (but the exact same image works from an SD card), and that merely changing the pre- allocation of the contiguous memory area affects it, I suspect this at least related to (if not a duplicate of) LP: #2037015, particularly since a crash bug is now associated with it too, LP: #2062146.
