I'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop. At first everything is going great, but after restart when installation is done, it's telling me that there is no bootable device and if I stick flash drive in, it starts installing ubuntu again over and over.

It's obvious that I have installed ubuntu but after restart everything gets removed that I saved before. Any ideas?

  • Okay, so as Liam told me I searched everything. My laptop is UEFI, hard disk is something like "GPT with protective MBR. using GPT.". I'm not trying dual boot, I'm just trying to install only ubuntu.

It's obvious that I have installed ubuntu but after restart everything gets removed that I saved before.

No, it is not obvious. This is a wild guess and I am confident that it is incorrect.

I think that what is happening is that you are not correctly installing a bootloader.

Is your computer BIOS or UEFI? Is your hard disk MBR or GPT? Are you trying to dual-boot? If so, with what? Is your firmware up to date? If not, update it.

If you do not know how to answer these questions, Google them. You will find lots of instructions on how to find these things out. You will need to know the answers and give them to us before we can help you.
