Bug Description

Running new Intel NUC D34010WYKH, i3processor,128GB SSD 4GB RAM. Already loaded Windows 7pro and have used Gparted to partition the SSD. Kubuntu 15.10 being loaded from USB by Unetbootin onto a 10GB partition with a 4GB swap partition. I have compared the checksum and it is perfect. Tried downloading 15.10 twice now and have had the same error; namely...
Loads well until it gets to the slideshow of Kubuntu features and then brings up an alert that "apt" can't load as the files aren't able to be unpacked. On clicking the "OK" field it stops the install and a screen appears to advise I open a terminal and type in kubuntu bug -ubiquity (which may or may not be exactly correct as it appears for a brief time and then closes).
Desperately want to load this distro so will try 14.04

Missing logfiles -bugreport is not of great use without them, as the situation will not be reproduceable.

<OT> Just in case - If U are unlucky with 14.04 LTS - I would assume that U are having an UEFI-Mainboard, thus U should install wt UEFI-Media, instead of BIOS-Legacy. In case U need help on this, it's preferable that you join with ur local Kubuntu-Forum in order to seek advice. U can find some information/link on https://www.kubuntu.org or take a look at https://askubuntu.com/

OT: You should be able to run an upgrade 16.04.1 LTS lateron, it would be recommend then to wait half year upon the to have things settled. The system will inform u then. But U can also stick with Trusty Tahr 14.04 since this gets supporrted until 2019. Newer Versions of Kubuntu will contain Plasma5 which is not yet ment for a stable production environment. This may sound harsh but it's honest. at least.

Best wishes for the new year to U
