It's possible you have a bad write to your media. If you're still having
problems please 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 and/or re-downloading it.

Title:
  ubuntu install USB somehow faulty

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I downloaded an image for ubuntu 18
  (https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/) yesterday, and created a startup
  disk on a USB using these instructions
  (https://ubuntu.com/download/iot/installation-media) . Today, I
  successfully booted from the USB, and everything seemed to be going
  okay until about halfway through the install. I encountered a few
  error messages, something about files not matching
  (/target/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libibus-1.0.so.5.0.517) and another
  implying that my disc needed to be cleaned (Physically, which is an
  impossibility since I'm using a USB) and shortly after, I was informed
  that the install was aborted due to a corrupt disk (or something along
  that line). And then it offered to send a report, and opened up this
  page.

  I've just found different instructions
  (https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#1-overview)
  So my next step will be to try re-doing the Live USB that way
