When I try and continue from "Update and other software" it just hangs. Then, if I quit it sends me to a live version of Ubuntu desktop but the screen is tinted green. THEN if I try to install I get the following error:

ubuntu-drivers crashed with unboundlocalerror in nvidia_desktop_pre_installation_hook(): local variable 'version' referenced before assignment```

Please help!

  • As we don't know what release you're talking about, we'd only be guessing. Your question also doesn't rule out user procedure checks/errors; ie. did you verify the ISO after download to ensure it was good (as per doco) or did the validation of write of ISO to media succeed (this varies on your unstated release). If you skipped those checks, you should check for issues during install but didn't mention doing that... – guiverc Oct 15 '22 at 21:53
  • I’m using the latest release (22.04.1). I didn’t verify the iso but I downloaded it 4 times and tried each one and experienced the same error. When you say to check for issues during install, what do you mean? – Commandcracker8 Oct 16 '22 at 08:12
  • Downloading it four times may increase the chance of download being successful, but it's not the same as validating the checksum (https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu#0) but if you wrote the ISO using the same method, and your writing tool can only handle ISOs up to 20.04 but not later (there were changes for 20.10 & later, so updated software is required for them to be valid if the ISO isn't cloned directly); it maybe the ISO writing software can't handle releases past 20.04 which you're trying to use. – guiverc Oct 16 '22 at 10:57
  • You'll find some answers on this post (https://askubuntu.com/questions/993407/is-verifying-isos-downloaded-from-the-official-website-worthwhile/993409#993409) and I talk about media checks in this answer (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1311183/do-i-need-to-check-the-integrity-of-a-ubuntu-install). If your issue is nvidia related; as we know nothing about your hardware/card we can't help there (you gave no details) but I'd switch to text terminal and read system messages (dmesg, journalctl etc), even check the media using another machine (ie. just try & not install; then scan logs) – guiverc Oct 16 '22 at 11:01
  • Thanks for responding @guiverc. I've confirmed that the SHA256 checksum is valid. Here are my system specs: https://hastebin.com/gupugabagu.txt I've managed to install it before on this PC, just not again. Does this help? – Commandcracker8 Oct 17 '22 at 17:03
