Prevent the Ubuntu installing from downloading software by unchecking the Other options of Download updates while installing Ubuntu and Install third-party software at the Updates and other software screen.

This type of error can also occur when there are too many bad sectors on the hard drive. The Ubuntu installer will stop somewhere in the middle of the installation process until you replace the hard drive. This is easy to check if you have a replacement hard drive handy. Pull out the existing hard drive and try installing Ubuntu again on a different hard drive.

  • I just left the minimum install checkbox checked, and suddenly it worked and I managed to install it, but I still think the hard drive is a bit worn out, Thank you very much karel. May 10, 2022 at 13:46
