[Bug 1978235] Re: Ubuntu crashes on install. The browser works but nothing on the desk top loads.

[Chris Guiver]

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

Examining the information you have given us, I see likely hardware
issues that would explain it and wonder if you have a drive that needs
examination (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools).
