did you format the partitions you were installing to or was the previous install (working or not) directories erased?

I noticed similar outputs from ubiquity when I erased the old install when re-installing.

[ Home directory /home/ubuntu not ours.
Error opening file for reading: Permissão negada

** (ubiquity:2814): CRITICAL **: unable to create directory '/root/.cache/dconf': Permissão negada. dconf will not work properly. ]

After making a new partition table and partitions + formatting them before installing fresh the above errors never happened.
