Bug Description
Hello all!
I have been tirelessly trying to install Ubuntu-18.04 since the last 2 days, but every attempt turned out to be negative. Apart from other GUI based problems, which I am reporting here.

When mounting the iso and attempting an upgrade through the terminal, the "gksu sh /cdrom/
When booting from a live flash drive (created from the same iso), the installation freezes at the network page after I enter the password for my wifi. When using a wired connection, the network page does not appear. The installation freezes at the page where it asks for Normal or Minimal installation. It even has options for Install Updates and install Third-Party Drivers etc (the 3rd page of the installation). I have tried different combinations of options, but the installation never proceeds further. Sometimes, it even freezes at the keyboard selection page (the 2nd page of the setup).
I have already verified the integrity of the downloaded iso through a checksum verification. It is perfectly OK.
Current OS: Ubuntu-16.04.1 (latest kernel, as per apt-get)
Machine: MSI GV62 7RD
