This installation looks like it was caused by a corrupted file system, or device problems (sda1). I notice in the logs Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.770983] EXT4-fs warning (device sdb8): ext4_end_bio:323: I/O error 10 writing to inode 412691 (offset 0 size 233472 starting block 30865657) Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.770986] Buffer I/O error on device sdb8, logical block 427968 Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.770992] Buffer I/O error on device sdb8, logical block 427969 Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.770994] Buffer I/O error on device sdb8, logical block 427970 Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.770996] Buffer I/O error on device sdb8, logical block 427971 Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.770997] Buffer I/O error on device sdb8, logical block 427972 Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.770999] Buffer I/O error on device sdb8, logical block 427973 Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.771001] Buffer I/O error on device sdb8, logical block 427974 Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.771003] Buffer I/O error on device sdb8, logical block 427975 Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.771005] Buffer I/O error on device sdb8, logical block 427976 Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.771006] Buffer I/O error on device sdb8, logical block 427977 Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.771526] EXT4-fs warning (device sdb8): ext4_end_bio:323: I/O error 10 writing to inode 412692 (offset 0 size 4198400 starting block 30866176) Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.772242] EXT4-fs warning (device sdb8): ext4_end_bio:323: I/O error 10 writing to inode 412692 (offset 0 size 6295552 starting block 30866688) Jul 3 11:38:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 798.773577] EXT4-fs warning (device sdb8): ext4_end_bio:323: I/O error 10 writing to inode 412692 (offset 0 size 8388608 starting block 30867200) ..
