Thank you for your bug report Could you add the logs from/var/log/installer after getting the problem or use 'sudo ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap' to report the issue (which would automatically include the needed informations)?

Changed in ubuntu-desktop-provision:

installation.log Edit (138.1 KiB, text/plain)

I have copied the logs from the GUI during the last installation and attached. Hope it contains the information you're looking for. It takes a bit of time to install the Ubuntu on a USB stick. If the attached file isn't what you want, I will have to re-install Ubuntu again and provide the log later.

The log has the error thanks, seems curtin is error out on a

no idea what it means but maybe the curtin or subiquity team will know better

summary:

- Installation of 24.04 and 24.04.1 failed with unknown reason
+ curtin OSError: Bad message: '/target/etc/default'

A bit of googling suggests filesystem corruption can lead to this error https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/690151/what-are-common-causes-of-ext4-file-system-corruption which might mean your USB stick is going bad. I guess this is too late to be asking but if you have the kernel messages from during the install attempt there might be more clues in there.

I have tried to reinstall it on a different USB thumb drive. The issue happens again with the same error. See attached for the kernel log and the installation log.

The following lines in the kernel log catches my attention. I have chosen to Erase /dev/sdc and create the partitions for the installation. It looks like the installer has not created the partitions on /dev/sdc properly.

For some reason, I am unable to attach a file. It always runs into an error. Therefore, I'm copying & pasting USB and storage related messages below from /var/log/kern.log for your reference.
