Hello again,
I've not had any luck with my previous installation (at time of posting this anyway) - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2430088
I've tried reinstalling and got the following:
The system log from your installation contains an error. The specific
error commonly occurs when there is an issue with the disk to which you
are trying to install Ubuntu. It is recommended that you back up
important data on your disk and investigate the situation. Measures you
might take include checking cable connections for your disks and using
software tools to investigate the health of your hardware.
The problem is I can't see any details in the log. The log is here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/K4Wx3drZdz/
Can someone have a look to see which line in the log has caused the prompt? This might allow me to troubleshoot further.
SMART indicates the drive is likely to fail soon, but that has been the case for a while: the previous three attempts to install linux did not produce the message quoted above.
(FWIM they did all have the booting issue in my other thread above - if you think the booting issue is due to the dodgy drive then please do let me know, I don't mind which thread you respond in).
