Cannot install Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or later

Support and Help
1

Ever since Canonical is pushing for a Flutter based installer since 23.04 (With legacy installer still Included) and 24.04 (Which a legacy installer is no longer included), I like a flutter, I loved it, it’s an installation process on some devices (Mostly a handhelds) has errors and cannot get Ubuntu to work properly (USB ports on certain handhelds has limited power and Flutter based installer probably did not include something like on a legacy installer such as an A-Sync).

As one person said in this topic cannot boot to Ubuntu after installing it. For this one, I couldn’t install Ubuntu 24.04 or later. :fearful:

It looks like this during a process of the installation while I’ve waited and waited. :fearful:

I have to install an old version of Ubuntu which it includes a legacy installer like 23.10 and then upgrade it afterwards.

Once it has a sync that will fix that. hopefully this eliminates a problem like it show that screenshot says “Installer Failed”.

Hopefully it’s fixed in a future, :slightly_smiling_face: or worse, Ubuntu will not be as popular because of this. :fearful: Which it scares me.

Have you done what the message suggests so that it can be researched and fixed? (If so, what is the bug number)

I tried to find it and I suddenly lost it, don’t worry, I’ll try again if I’m ready.
Stay tuned :wink:

I now use Kubuntu and like its Calamares installer. Lubuntu has used Calamares for a longer time, also.

Hello @oldfred,

Did that version of an installer solved an issues on a handheld? :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @oldfred ,

That doesn’t solve the problem. Please keep to the topic instead of telling a user to switch it to something else.

Thank you.

Do not know if that would solve problem, but have had Ubuntu not install on older low spec laptop system, possibly similar to a low spec hand held. Just would not install. Where Kubuntu would install.
Issue was not installer per se, but that system did not have new enough specs to support full Ubuntu which assumes newer system.

Have you tried a lighter weight flavor?
https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours
Light weight flavors:
Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Budgie
Flavors of Ubuntu only come with three years of supported life (five years applies to Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server but not flavors)

I just got a new laptop Lenovo, and when I tried to install 24.10, it failed with the error you see. I installed with 24.04.1 and it worked fine.
