I'm trying to get Ubuntu installed on my SSD while keeping Windows on a separate drive, but I keep hitting a wall with the installer showing a "Something went wrong" message. Here's what I've tried so far:
- BIOS is set to UEFI mode and Fast Boot is disabled.
- I performed a Secure Erase on the SSD.
- The SSD is completely unallocated.
- I've attempted both Erase disk and manual partitioning (EFI, root, swap, home).
- The bootloader is directed to the Ubuntu SSD.
Despite all these steps, it still crashes every time. Has anyone dealt with this issue on an NVMe drive? I'd appreciate any tips to get it installed!

Try booting in safe graphics mode; it might help. I had a similar issue and that worked for me.
Is this the 25.10 version? Just checking because sometimes the newer versions can have bugs.
No, I'm actually using 22.04.
I flashed the USB with balenaEtcher and booted into safe graphics. That did the trick! I guess Ventoy didn't flash the USB correctly, or booting normally was the problem.
