[ubuntu] Got Stuck in Preparing To Install Even Though MD5 Checks Out Fine

Code:

[grayson@htpc ~]$ md5sum ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso 
17643c29e3c4609818f26becf76d29a3  ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso

No matter what I do when it comes to booting into live desktop or by selecting Install Ubuntu from the boot menu and whether if downloading updates/third party software is checked or unchecked, I cannot get past the Preparing to install screen.

Code:

[grayson@htpc ~]$ sudo fdisk -l

I flashed my USB drive through "dd" while in Arch Linux, as I want to try something different by going with Unity from GNOME 3.20, which I am currently using right now, so yeah, I plan to distro-hop.

Here's my hardware information in case you need it:

Is there any way to get past the "prepare for installation" screen?

Let's block ads! (Why?)
