[Bug 2092159] Re: 22.05 install fails while 24.04 install, using same media, succeeds

[Wiliam Rust]

Hi,

I downloaded 22.04 again and wrote it to one of my sd cards. I then tried
installing it next to the 24.04 that I had installed earlier. Again, I used
the same sd card for installing both 22.04 and 24.04. The destination ssd
is a 1TB evo pro. Again, the 22.04 install failed part way through at the
same place it failed before. I tried an apt update, etc. but that failed
miserably.

So, I tried installing 22.04 server which worked, although I did wind up
erasing 24.04 due to the less than user-friendly partitioning step. I then
installed ubuntu-desktop and everything now seems to be working. ROS humble
is working without the docker container which adds a whole another set of
problems that I can now avoid.

Anyway, thanks for your help,

wjr

  Tried to install 22.05 onto clean ssd. Failed part way through with a
  message suggesting bad media. Tried using a different micro sd to
  install, same fail. Tried installing 24.04 using same source and
  destination media and that worked. Really need to use 22.05 because
  main application for this device really wants 22.05 (24.04 requires
  different version of app which then cascades into a whole bunch of
