Installation stuck at "Retrieving file 43 of 93"
Im trying to install 11.10 from a USB drive. The installation process starts like it should but it gets to where it reads "Retrieving file 43 of 93" and it stays there. It's been there for over 15 minutes now with no change. Tried loading form CD with same issue.
Solution 1:
If you have this problem installing inside of VMWare (I am using Fusion), then simply disconnect the network adapter in the VM. That immediately allowed my installation to continue.
In Oracle VM VirtualBox:
Solution 2:
If you encounter this problem. Before installing uncheck "Check For Updates" and please disconnect your internet connection
After the system reboots, use Update Manager to install the latest updates or run sudo apt-get update&&sudo apt-get upgrade in the terminal
Solution 3:
Disconnect your Computer from the Internet (pull out the cable) and start the installation a second time. When done, reconnect to the Internet → install system updates as usually ...
Solution 4:
I have faced the same problem but I wasn't able to install after unchecking the Check For Updates option. I have tried the following way and managed to install after that:
- Insert CD and select Try Ubuntu option.
- Now check if the Internet is working or otherwise, to ensure there is no problem with the Internet connection.
- Select the option Install Ubuntu in the desktop during live session.
After that, you should now be able to install without any problem.
