Strange installation problem

[ardarandir]

Thanky for your reply.

In fact, I am not absolutely sure it is the exact same issue. I am using a different Ubuntu flavor (Ubuntu 24.04.2 with KDE) and I am not using any extra script. I am, however, experiencing the same error message as in the screenshot of OP and installation aborts. The resulting “installation” cannot be booted, though I can see many files already written on hard disk.

I just downloaded a fresh copy of Ubuntu Studio 24.04.2 LTS, checked the checksum and will try installation again, to see if I can copy or screenshot any error log, then post it for more info.

I am, however, experiencing the same error message

This is not an error message but a boilerplate thing, the actual error would have been only visible when clicking on “Report Problem”, that would have actual info about an error…

There can be a million different things behind that boilerplate pop-up, better open a new topic and attach some actual info (like a screenshot of the next screen when clicking, some actual installer logs or screenshots of the journal output on a termite etc)

I tried again using a fresh download, a new stick, “safe graphics mode” and moving the mouse every few minutes to prevent any “energy saving” from kicking in. It finally went through, runs fine now, thanks for the help.

-installed, up and away-

[ardarandir]

Sure it was, as always.

I am not the OP, though, not even sure I had the same issue.

As the original creator of this post, I’m not considering it as a solution until I’ve seen it work for me as well…

I’ve now managed to get some screenshots from the problem reporting tool, don’t know if they are more help:

Well, that error is pretty clear, it even tells you to remove the oem: block from your autoinstall file, since the OEM kernel flavor won’t work with certified hardware that way…

[jby]

Ok, thanks, I’ll try to remove it and try again

[jby]

I removed the OEM section all together, but I still get the same error. Will try with

oem:
  install: false

instead now

This helped, now it installs without error!
