I sincerely appreciate you prompt and considered reply. Rushed off the download site to quick and then spent a good deal of time trying to verify the downloaded iso file without success. Will delete the entire downloaded iso file, download it again and see if the instructions for verifying it that pop up will work to verify the iso file before leaving the download site. Then will create a new boot stick.
Many thanks. - John On 1/28/20 7:46 PM, Chris Guiver wrote: > Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make > Ubuntu better. > > This package failure looks like it was caused by bad ISO download, > corrupted install media, or device failure. eg. look in the logs and > you'll see messages like these :- > > Jan 29 00:29:40 ubuntu kernel: [ 351.847769] SQUASHFS error: zlib > decompression failed, data probably corrupt > Jan 29 00:29:40 ubuntu kernel: [ 351.847775] SQUASHFS error: > squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x3158360c > > Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be > a useful bug report so I am closing it, as it appears to be a bad ISO or > faulty device (inc. bad write-to-device).
