I`m trying to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 lts from usb stick. When is the partition section in installation I choose use whole disk or something like that... Then comes an error that says swap volume creation failed.

Whole installation software is very slow and laggy. About 2 days ago I selected in that part to clean all partitions before installation and then came these symptoms.

Sometimes comes pink screen and white line in the bottom of the screen where I can write, it`s like terminal without commands.

Thanks for the answers!

P.S. Sorry my bad English, it is not my native language =P

can you explain what is slow, a) the installation process or b) the final installed system. – strings Jan 9 at 20:07
Just wondering, are you choosing the correct disk, or perhaps the USB key from which you are trying to install? – 0xC0000022L Jan 9 at 21:32
