Hi,
I got a new computer, AMD FX, motherboard ASUS M5A97 R2.0, harddisk 1Tb (maybe its not important, but..), and 16Gb memory. I would like to install Ubuntu Linux on it. I have some expereince with such installations, but this time it doesn't work .... I prepare USB flashdrive. Preparation is done on 32bit Windows laptop, according to instructions http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows . I want to install 64bit Ubuntu, but tried also 32bit version. Both Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.10 were tried .. During preparation of USB stick, it was formatted to fat32 (I am not sure, is it Ok to install 64bit Linux from such stick, or it should be prepared on 64bit maschine?). Anyway, all the versions lead to the same result .. After choosing "install ubuntu", the system starts installation, it goes pretty far , e.g. I choose the option that entire disk will be used for Ubuntu (it says /dev/sda(ext4) 1Tb, I do not use the option "advanced partitioning tool for more control"), then it asks my location, keyboard layout etc, copy all the files it needs, ask my name, password, starts installing, configuring hardware, and then always crashed
on "installing grub2 package". Message is "The "grub-efi-amd64-signed" package failed to install into /target . Without the Grub boot loader, the installed system will not boot". And then "We're sorry, the installer crashed" ...... When I start again, installation program detects previously "installed" Ubuntu, I choose to erase it and reinstall, and so on..... What can be done?..
