Happened in 20.04 LTS as well. I have removed usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-

there) and will try again.
Thanks.

My comments are years old, so I can't recall the details of the error, but
the combinations of the two sets of instructions for adding additional
packages, and burning a USB from a CD, don't jibe, leaving users in the
lurch.
One or the other set of instructions should be updated to reflect this.

I can confirm I had this same issue with multiple different versions of
Ubuntu that I was trying to install via a USB stick created with
Unetbootin. I had previously been in the habit of rewriting a USB thumb
drive with different bootable images without cleaning it first. When I

Got sick and tired of this bug so figured I'd find out what the cause
is. Turns out (for me) because I overwrote multiple versions of Linux
using unetbootin, there were multiple apt folders in dist/ on the drive

Hello,
I had the same problem, too, installing Linux Mint 17.2. The
installer just crashed, informing me that it had crashed, and not
giving massively helpful error messages.
I don't like having to trash the contents of a usb stick in order
to install an os, so I have one usb stick created
I created a custom live cd, and had this problem too.
It was solved by removing the file /usr/share/ubiquity/apt-setup,
then recreating it again by hand and giving it the right permissions

1. sudo rm /usr/share/ubiquity/apt-setup
2. sudo nano /usr/share/ubiquity/apt-setup
3. enter the
Mint 17 64-bit still has this problem from ISOs put on USB drives via
unetbootin. But the problem does not exist when the ISO was put on the
USB drive via usb-creator-gtk.

Interesting that it seems to be working for you Evan. I haven't re-

Removing the apt-setup/generators/40cdrom file requires that one have

You must 'try ubuntu' and then as root, remove it: sudo rm
/usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-setup/generators/40cdrom
Then (without shutting down) run the installer.
I reproduced this issue using Ubuntu's Startup disk creator for 11.04
and the latest 11.10 release iso.

When trying to install Ubuntu
ubuntu 11.10 suffers under the same bug.
I use a lenovo x121e.
besides it is really a great idea to exclude the console program from the live
cd setup. Without the console it is really difficult to write something like:
sudo rm /usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-setup/generators/40cdrom
yeah I know you can
Seriously, how is this still a bug 3 releases later? Can Ubiquity not
just skip this script gracefully if it fails and continue through to
finish the install? Also, I didn't have this problem with either beta
install of 11.10, just now with the final release.
Ubuntu 11.10 i386 desktop USB
This is simply outrageous!!!
How is it possible to promote correctly Ubuntu when the first thing you face is
the installator and throw an error.
That's just lame. I'm using Ubuntu for years, and I just loose the little
credibility because of that.
Please focus on critical stuffs!
