Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

The following errors can be found in UbiquitySyslog.txt which was
automatically attached to this bug report:

Oct  7 01:15:37 ubuntu kernel: [ 2323.626009] SQUASHFS error: zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt
Oct  7 01:15:38 ubuntu kernel: [ 2323.626012] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x2f02ede7

It's possible you had a bad write to your media or for some other reason
its contents could not be read. When having such problems should try the
option to check the integrity of the image from the installer boot menu,
and if this confirms that the media is corrupt, try re-writing it.

I'm closing this bug due to the time that has elapsed since you raised
it. I hope you were eventually successful installing Ubuntu.
