First, introduction. I am using a Dell Inspiron, 4x Intel Core i3 CPU [email protected] GHz, 64bit. Currently running Kubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.4.0-116-generic.
While booting the Ubuntu-Mate 18.04 live DVD it stops, tells me the installer failed for unknown reasons, then starts a live session. No "Welcome Screen". I can stop the booting before the Welcome Screen by pressing a key and I see several options. Option Live Session works but option Install fails for, again, unknown reasons. Install option only works with nolapic active. BTW, Kubuntu installed fine 2 years ago.
Is installing even worth the effort? Will the lapic issue cause problems after install? Considering 32bit install, upgrading bios, waiting 3–4 months. If already discussed, please point me in the right direction.
Error message:
The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again.
