[Paul White]

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. From UbiquitySyslog.txt
which was added to this bug report:

Dec 14 04:27:24 ubuntu kernel: [ 1919.762364] SQUASHFS error: zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt
Dec 14 04:27:24 ubuntu kernel: [ 1919.762370] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x2036086f

You probably had a bad write to your installation media or for some
other reason its contents could not be read correctly. Normally you
should try re-writing the image to your installation media (and may be
also re-download the image).

However, please note that

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021.

and as such will not receive any bug fixes or security updates. You
should only install and use supported releases of Ubuntu. See this
document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:

Bug description:
  im trying out different linux operating systems on seperate low end
  products i have found on the side of the road. i have Proxmox on an
  HPtouchsmart 300, oracle linux 9 on an old $30 lenovo "chromebook" and
  raspberry pi os 32-bit on this dell optiplex 765. i came to a point
  where i realized, i couldnt create any live boot usb drives on the
  count that im just now learning how to use proxmox and virtual
  enviroments, was having a hard time finding an answer on wiki or the
  document page on connecting virtual machines to the external
  peripherals. on my lenovo, after the initial boot up of oracle linux
  9. i find out my laptop isnt recieving any wifi signal. turns out
  oracle is more inclined for higher end and commercial products. im
  assuming my laptop didnt make the list of the drivers and software it
  includes in their recent releases. As of this Dell, im currently on.
  its always been a picky rig. From what ive seen, 32 bit and legacy has
  been its favorite. so when i saw that raspberry pi had a desktop
  version. i wanted to see what the hype was all about and was
  unfortunately not impressed on account of the lack of support for i386
  and 32 bit systems. with all that happening at the same time. luckily
  i came accross some documents on how to create live usb boot drives
  using dd through the terminal. what i thought was a turn of events and
  a blessing in disguise upon the newly acquired kung-terminal-fu
  skills. i see i mightve celebreated a tad bit prematurely.
