I downloaded Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
I created a bootable Ubuntu USB stick
I created 50GB partition for that.
My motherboard is: Gigabyte 990XA-UD3, the USB flash drive with the Ubuntu is connected to USB 3 port.
In the BIOS, I change in the Boot Option Priorities that the Boot Option #1 is UEFI: USB and Boot Option #2 is Windows Boot Manager, when I restart the PC, I got a screen with the following options:
Ubuntu
Ubuntu (safe graphics)
OEM install (for manufacturers)
Boot from next volume
UEFI Firmware Settings
In my PC, I have 512GB SSD with Windows 10 installed on it, and two old HDDs, one with size of 500GB and the other one with size of 1TB. My previous Windows 7 is installed on one of them, I just keep them as additional storage.
After I choose Ubuntu from the options, I got some device descriptor read/64, error -32 lines.
The first line is unsupported SPROM revisions: 11.
Then, the Ubuntu OS welcome window shows up and I choose the Try Ubuntu after that I choose the Install Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS from the search to install it. In the stage of Updates and other software I choose Normal installation and Download updates while installing Ubuntu and Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats
Couple seconds after I choose Continue the whole system got stuck.
Beforehand, I tried to find a solution to why my mouse does not respond when I move it, I work with tutorial that said that I need to edit: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub and change one the lines to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.nomux i8024.noloop"
but when I try to run sudo update-grub I get an error. error:failed to get canonical path of /cow
After trying several approaches to that problem with no success, I left it for now and I used only the keyboard to install Ubuntu.
As I explained, the system got stuck so after searching for solution, I found this: https://appuals.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-20-04-installer-stuck-at-updates/
I located the partition where Windows is installed but the using Shift+F10 not open up the options to choose Unmount
The partition is /dev/sdb4
After searching about some of the lines that appeared like:
USB device not accepting address or device descriptor read/64, error -32
I found that Gigabyte motherboards have some issues with 64 bit kernel and after that I found this: USB ports not working on Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 (except USB 3)
So, I enabled XHCI/ECHI, still got the same problems.
After that, I connected the mouse to USB 3 port and now its working but still when I try to install Ubuntu, it is getting stuck at the same stage.
Right clicking on /dev/sdb4 partition in GParted don't show the Unmount option and the Mount option is grayed out.
I also tried to launch Ubuntu (safe graphics) instead, got the same problem.
How do I fix these problems?
Thanks.
