In my laptop, Dell Inspiron 5570, the terminal is not opening.
When I click on the terminal icon, in the activity tab it shows that it's loading but doesn't open. The same happens for some applications, like Livepatch, System Update, Additional Drivers, Software & Updates, Startup Disk & Terminal.
I'm running Kubuntu 18.04 and I want to use Startup Disk Creator. But when it starts up it shows a box with the puzzling message "Installing ?" and a progress bar. If I cancel it, SDC terminates. What is that message all about, and how can I get past it?
I created a startup USB drive with Startup Disk Creator from 18.04.1 image and successfully used it to install Ubuntu. Then I decided to inspect it with GPT fdisk, and gdisk reported "invalid main GPT header" and other issues:
§ sudo gdisk /dev/sdc
[sudo] password for alexey:
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.3
Caution: invalid main GPT header, but valid backup; regenerating main header
from backup!
Caution! After loading partitions, the CRC doesn't check out!
Warning! Main partition table CRC mismatch! Loaded backup partition table
instead of main partition table!
Warning! One or more CRCs don't match. You should repair the disk!
Partition table scan:
MBR: MBR only
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: damaged
Found valid MBR and corrupt GPT. Which do you want to use? (Using the
GPT MAY permit recovery of GPT data.)
1 - MBR
2 - GPT
3 - Create blank GPT
Your answer: ^C
Is this expected? Is this a bug in "Startup Disk Creator" or something else? Is it safe to install Ubuntu from a drive where "CRCs don't match"?
I try to create a startup disk with Ubuntu 15.04 64bit on a 16G USB stick. When I start the "Startup Disk Creator", it will show progress of "Copying files..." until about 49% complete, then hangs forever. No error message shown, no hint if anything is still tried or being done or if I am looking at a corpse. When I press the "Cancel" button I get a confirmation dialog showing "Do you want to quit the installation now?" but when I click "Quit" there, now that dialog also hangs. After killing the process, when I retried but disabling the extra data region of 1G that it creates by default, the process indicator went to 96% complete and then kept being stuck there.
