I tried installing steamos on a computer today but it fails during the base installation phase.

First it seems to hang on the message: "unpacking libgtk-3-common"

Then it gives me the following warning:

debootstrap warning

Warning: Failure while installing base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times




I have no idea how to fix this. The computer specs are:

Celeron G1840 CPU (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...)
MSI H81I motherboard (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...)
60 GB Corsair SSD (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1682...)
4 GB RAM (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1682...)

The specs are super low because I plan on streaming my main gaming PC to my TV with this machine. It's pretty similar to a build that this guy made who had no issues:

That is what I did up to step 5, where it fails for some reason.

I looked at the drives on my BIOS and my SSD is not UEFI. Does the drive need to be UEFI or does only the USB stick need to be UEFI? My stick is UEFI.

I tried windows and ubuntu and they both failed too. Must be a defective SSD.
