Hi everyone,


  • I downloaded the Desktop Image - 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image.
  • The size of the Desktop Image is 4.8 GB.
  • I checked SHA256SUMS - all good.
  • I used [Make Startup Disk] which is installed by default on my Ubuntu to create the LiveUSB.
  • My Testing machine is HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF. Core i5 vPro with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD.
  • As always, I selected [Try Ubuntu]. The look and feel is quite amazing.
  • The machine I'm using to test is an old Desktop.
  • Because I want to keep Windows for games, I need to Dual-boot. That is why I ran GParted.
  • I had to delete one of the (4) partitions so I got rid of the [HP Tool] Drive.
  • I already cleared more than 70GB from the entire Disk (SSD) before I start the test. All what I needed to do is to resize and shrink.
  • I created an Extended Partition. Inside, I created (2) Partitions for Ubuntu 23.04 Beta. One is the main (/) and the other is SWAP. YES, this is my approach. I always use GParted to prepare the Disk before I start the installation whether I'm testing or not.
  • I really like how the Installer looks like. Really beautiful. Well done!
  • Without being connected to the Internet, I started the installation.
  • All went well until I reached to [Keyboard Layout] screen. I thought to change the language to test but I got an error message: [System program problem detected - do you want to report the problem now?]. Because I wasn't connected to the Internet, I didn't report.
  • As always, I selected Manual Installation. Remember, I need to Dual-Boot and I don't want any surprises, given it is the Beta version and not yet final.
  • When I selected the Partitions and was trying to go to the next step, I got the exact error message [System program problem detected] and I couldn't move forward. I had to stop.
  • The USB I used to test and install Ubuntu 23.04 Beta is in a good shape. I doubled check the SHA256SUMS. I'm not yet sure what the real problem is.
  • While this attempt has [Failed], I will try again. If the same issue occur, I will report the bug.
  • The MOST important step in OS testing is the Installation Step. What an OS without being installed on a machine?

Update 1:
I tried again on a different machine - the exact same problem.

Update 2:

Thoughts?

Thank you.
