Hello Tech Support; My problems are just getting worse. My 16.04 desktop stopped accepting my password. After many attempts and after checking online for help and finding that nothing worked I attempted to install 18.08. That is what caused me to send in that crash report.
On the second attempt I got much further before that crash occurred with the option to continue. It installed but the pointer kept going around and around as though something was still being installed. That stayed on for almost 2 hours until I stopped it. I was then instructed to eject the DVD and press Enter. I was able to go online check several different things while all the while the pointer kept going round and around. I restarted the computer once more and the 18.08 installation disappeared completely. Now when I attempt to start it it goes right back to my original problem insisting that I put in my password. The DVD gets ejected every time I insert it into the drive. I cannot boot from the DVD neither can I find the installed version of 18.04. I need HELP ASAP.
