Ubuntu stuck/freeze on install

Solution 1:

I found a solution to my problem. I just used a different USB-thumb drive, and that did the trick.

Thanks

Solution 2:

If the Ubuntu installer either does not start or starts and then freezes, press the F6 key and enable the nomodeset kernel boot option.

Safe Graphics Mode. A new option is added to the GRUB menu in 19.04 and later which will boot with nomodeset on. This may help you resolve issues on certain graphics cards and allow you to boot and install any proprietary drivers needed by your system.

From the purple ubuntu screen press the F6 key. If you don't see this screen, shutdown, boot from the Ubuntu live USB again, and immediately after the motherboard / computer manufacturer logo splash screen appears when the computer is booting, with BIOS, quickly press and hold the Shift key, which will bring up a GNU GRUB menu screen. With UEFI press (perhaps several times) the Esc key to get to the GNU GRUB menu screen. Sometimes the manufacturer's splash screen is a part of the Windows bootloader, so when you power up the machine it goes straight to the GNU GRUB menu screen, and then pressing Shift is unnecessary.

After pressing F6, press Enter on nomodeset and an "x" will appear to the left of the option. Press Esc to leave the popup menu. The selections are retained at the time the user presses the Esc key. Then use the down arrow key to highlight the Install Ubuntu option and press the Enter key to select it.
