Bug Description
The installation aborts with an error message. I had to switch to another virtual console and set LC_ALL=C to get English error messages, so please excuse me for not including logs. Here’s my analysis:
The installation aborts because linux-generic is uninstallable.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-generic: Depends: linux-restricte
E: Broken packages

As a DD I highly doubt that the kernel should (is allowed to) depend on a package from restricted (especially if restricted is not yet available at the time of kernel installation, but not just so).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. While we appreciate the difficulties you are facing, it would appear that the CD image (ISO file) you downloaded could be corrupt. There is an easy way to verify the integrity of the Ubuntu ISO files you download. Could you please visit https:/ /help.ubuntu. com/community/ HowToMD5SUM follow the instructions and report back as to whether or not the MD5SUM verified? Thanks in advance
