MBOFH: Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
While we appreciate the difficulties you are facing, it would appear that the CD image (ISO file) you downloaded could be corrupt, or it somehow got damaged when you created your boot media (I think you're using a USB stick, correct me if I'm wrong). This assessment is based on the syslog file you posted, which contains lines like these, indicating the installer was unable to read some data from the Live CD filesystem: May 18 06:30:51 ubuntu kernel: [ 4981.780532] SQUASHFS error: zlib_inflate error, data probably corrupt May 18 06:30:51 ubuntu kernel: [ 4981.780541] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x1e8571a4 May 18 06:30:51 ubuntu kernel: [ 4981.780544] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [1e8571a4] May 18 06:30:51 ubuntu kernel: [ 4981.780547] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 1e8571a4, size 1fa5b There is an easy way to verify the integrity of the Ubuntu ISO files you download. Could you please visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM follow the instructions and report back as to whether or not the MD5SUM verified? There is a section on how to verify the files from Windows, Mac or another Linux computer, and this page provides instructions on how to have your Ubuntu installation media verify itself: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDIntegrityCheck If it turns out your installation media or files are corrupt, I suggest you re-download the CD image and create your installation media again. If using a USB stick, it would be good to use a different one, if possible. Please don't forget to report back on whether these diagnostics helped figure out the problem, or if you continue to have installation issues. Thanks in advance! ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784442 Title: Ubuntu install fails -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
