Comment 58 for bug 1798171

Hello--
thank you to all those who took time to comment and provide strategies to this problem.

I'd like to thank several of the posters here, poster #57's idea solved the prolem for me.

#I was trying to install 18.04 LTS through USB;
#there was a previous install, and I wanted to keep the files.
#Mid way through 18.04 install, computer crashed

I then had the same problem that was seen in this thread; downloading and booting into 19.04 proved to be the solution. Installation proceeded as normal.

must be a bug with 18.04?

Thank you again, and good luck.

I was able to keep my files. plan is to back up and fresh install ubuntu. Don't be like me :/ (back up everything)
