if this is due to nouveau is, like https://launchpad.net/~jibel and now I too suspect; the proprietary drivers would help for sure. the proprietary nvidia drivers should be the default anyway as that's what makes the most sense by default, unless Ubuntu is meant for only a niche set of users..

back in normal mode, and the extension still can't hide this page's blinding white. from https://help.launchpad.net/BugExpiry, mark this as expired. I'm going to do something other than testing software. suggestion for public service: and man, the installer is slow, what does it run on python?

and it crashed again. the message-> the problem cannot be reported. Your home partition has less than 0.0 MB of free space available, which leads to problems using applications and installing updates. Please free some space. - ah crap, I'm getting as dumb as this installer.

i'm getting tired of setting the EFI partition and '/ partition' to be on the pen drive. along with the bootloader. and of repeating other steps. it does correctly remember the name, machine name, but not the username. and the passwords need to be copy-pasted. I'll just save them in a file.

selected 'something else' then the window has 'Installation type'(can't copy-paste it) at top-left corner. Below that there used to be text about installation media but its absolutely unreadable by humans both in safe graphics mode and the default mode.

tip- since passwords can't be checked for errors at the "configure secure boot" phase, type it out and then copy it to save time. same for any other password filling stages in the install process. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed

quoting from comment by jibel select "Install third party drivers" in the installer did that when I first encountered the error. will try in safe graphics mode; after I redo all the steps I did for the 3rd time today. automation in this respect would be welcome, excluding the obvious stuff. --

Yeah, but at least you should be able to proceed with the installation in which nvidia drivers will be installed if you selected "Third party drivers" and you should have a good resolution on the installed system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

damn the safe graphics mode sucks. the resolution is way too low for comfort. i posted the same comment twice, because of it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853986 Title: installer

new issues can't be auto reported by system as the persistence drive seems to be full. but `sudo du -hs /` gives `16G /` as output. But when I open the `/` directory in `thunar` its shows total size as 9.9 GiB, so same as 10 GB persistence drive. - WHAT FILLED THE SPACE SO MUCH? after

tried to run the installer again. some program crashed again and I chose to Quit instead of trying again. wish it was also reported. side notes: 1. saw reproducible bugs related to nouveau when the HDMI cable was plugged in. remove it to avoid frequent shutdowns in live session. 2. running live

Thanks for your report. It's very likely due to the nouveau driver crashing. Could you try to boot in safe graphics mode? To do that, press any key on boot to display the boot menu and select "try ubuntu (safe graphics mode)" If the live session boots, then try an installation and select
