    If so, your only recourse is to use the 17.10 ISO to re-install it. Then, doing nothing else, download the 18.04 ISO, CHECKSUM it, burn it, install it.
    Don’t get tricky or try anything fancy.
    Yes I did download the 18.04 iso and burned it on a usb stick but the install hangs in the early stages.
    I did not chesumed it as i did on a old laptop on windows.

    I think i'll try with another usb key, I'm gettiong desperate

      You really need to validate the checksum against the sha256 sum provided for the Kubuntu ISO. It's not easy in Windows because you have to download some application, but it is easy in Kubuntu with the sha256sum. See if your Kubuntu install has it by using
      Code:
      which sha256sum
      on the command line. Then run
      Code:
      sha256sum {ISO filename}
      and compare the output number to the on provided on the Kubuntu download site. If any number or letter disagrees, it's a bad download.

        I click on "Continue" and I get the cursor in waiting mode but it never goes on to the next step.

          I went out do some shopping and I came back the screen did load finally.
          it took maybe 20minutes.

          Now i choose a manual install and when i click 'change' on one of my partition I get to wait again. Looks like a problem with a disk

                  Wow. That's slow. Any msgs in the logs explaining why? Maybe a loop repeatedly attempting something without success?

                      You can use systemd to give you a bootup list of processes, when they start and how long it takes them to start.
                      A basic listing is
                      systemd-analyze

                      Then there is
                      systemd-analyze blame

                      and
                      systemd-analyze plot > somename.svg (which can be read with your browser.)

                      See "man systemd-analyze"
