Bug Description
My computer is a Dell laptop, Inspiron, 7559
Intel Core i5-6300HQ
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4GB Graphics
256GB SSD
8GB RAM
I used the boot options:
i915.preliminar

I was expecting the installation but it didn't instead it aborted and gave option to send report.

Further note and another try at installation: ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= =======
=======
I used the "Universal USB Installer-1.9.8.0" to create the USB stick that I then used to install Ubuntu.
From this USB stick, I booted to "Try Ubuntu"
Once booted I opened a terminal: ubiquity/ apt-setup/ generators/ 40cdrom
sudo rm /usr/lib/
Then I click the "Install 16.04LTS" icon.
I selected Download updates while installing
and I selected Install third-party software.
I've tried installation quite a few times, and trying different things. The new thing that I hadn't tried was the removing of the 40cdrom file. I tried numerous times and ways, but that was new this time, and of course I'm not sure if this was the trick, but I thought I would mention it.
After awhile, it completed installation and I was able to reboot, and then login. So as far as getting the basic installation, I'm okay. ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ===
