[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

This failure was caused by a corrupted file system, or device failure.
eg. look in the logs and you'll see messages like these :-

Oct 12 06:46:16 ubuntu kernel: [  424.281840] SQUASHFS error: zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt
Oct 12 06:46:16 ubuntu kernel: [  424.283218] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x2a473d4d
Oct 12 06:46:16 ubuntu kernel: [  424.286839] SQUASHFS error: zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt
Oct 12 06:46:16 ubuntu kernel: [  424.286852] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x2a473d4d

Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be
a useful bug report so I am closing it, as it appears to be a faulty
device (or bad write-to-device). If you believe I'm in error, please
leave a comment explaining why and change the status back to 'New'. I
suggest you verify your ISO download, and use the 'check disc for
defects' option to validate your media before install to ensure a good
download & write.

fyi: As Tom already indicated; Ubuntu 17.04 or the 2017-April release of
Ubuntu is EOL; it upgraded to 17.10 which is also EOL (end-of-life) I'd
suggest starting again with a supported release of Ubuntu, plus validate
your download or write to media; one of which was likely flawed prior to
your install.
