    The ISO yields
    a847c0db6716f02f5160003f14aaec49ff7f699e7aa77f5261 ac715e9b7a4d4c, which matches with the checksum provided at website. I used sha256sum btw, instead of the mentioned sha1sum.
    After I read the instructions, I used the following command:
    Code:
    dd if=/dev/sdb bs=4096 count=$(($(stat -c '%s' ~/Downloads/kubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso) / 4096)) | sha256sum
    The output was:
    Code:
    456064+0 records in
    456064+0 records out
    1868038144 bytes (1.9 GB, 1.7 GiB) copied, 78.9513 s, 23.7 MB/s

    It seems it is not a bad download or USB image.

    First thing I would do is verify the USB against the checksum for the ISO. Go back to the Kubuntu download page and find the sha1sum checksum for the ISO you downloaded (make sure it the same date - they may have updated it since you downloaded it). Then run sha1sum against the downloaded ISO. Assuming they match, then run the sha1sum on your USB stick using this:

    If they all match - at least you know it's not a bad download or USB image.

    Kubuntu 18.04 64 bit gets stuck at Try Kubuntu

    Hello All,

    I am using Acer Nitro 5 Laptop (https://ryanscomputers.com/acer-nitr...-product-view2), which has intel graphics and Nvidia graphics. I have downloaded Kubuntu 18.04 LTS 64 bit using Torrent, set up a USB stick using the ISO and rebooted computer to go to the installation screen.
    Checking disk for defects yielded no errors.
    After I was presented the options

    1. Try Kubuntu
    2. Install Kubuntu

    If I select Try Kubuntu, it immadiately freezes. Nothing works. Except the hard power button of course.

    If I select Install Kubuntu, it can proceed to the keyboard layout, conencitivity and other options. Understandably, I didn't complete this step. I did not want to take the risk of installing it considering the factor that it might freeze after installation and booting!

    If this is relevant, I am using Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64 bit currently, and it works out of the box for my laptop. Installing the necessary drivers from device manager works well and does not require me to setup anything or modify any files.

    Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help you understand why it is freezing. Thanks, and looking forward to installing Kubuntu 18.04 LTS ASAP.
Working...
