Public bug reported:
When I try to install Ubuntu 18.04 (replacing rather than updating
16.04) on my HP Pavilion dv7 6080eo laptop, which currently runs Windows
in dual boot with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for amd64, I never get the screen
with the Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu choice. Instead the GUI drops into
"terminal mode" showing some errors, and after some time I can log into
"Try Ubuntu" mode.
I have verified the DVD with two methods:
Compared the MD5 sum of the ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso file
using md5sum with the value on the web,
f430da8fa59d2f5f4262518e3c177246, and checked the DVD using the command:
dd if=/dev/sr0 | head -c $(wc -c .../ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-
amd64.iso) | md5sum | cut -d' ' -f1
which also returned f430da8fa59d2f5f4262518e3c177246.
Verified the DVD integrity, booting the HP with ubuntu-18.04.1
-desktop-amd64 DVD and used the Check CD for defects menu option, which
was successful.
The "terminal output" I get before the "installation" on the HP drops
into try mode includes (at least) one suspicious line in the beginning
(I have attached a picture):
[ OK ] Created slice system-lvm2\x2dpvscan.slice
Starting LVM2 PV scan on device 8:6...
[ OK ] Started Snappy daemon.
Starting Wait until snapd is fully seeded..
Starting Holds Snappy daemon refresh...
[ FAILED ] Failed to start Dispatcher daemon for systemd-networkd.

When I boot on an old Asus laptop (K70IO) from that DVD, everything
behaves normally.
