I'm having an issue trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.
When booting up the CD, I select "Install Ubuntu" which is fine, however the problem occurs each time I arrive at the "where are you?" screen when choosing your geographic location.
I select my location and I always get a pop-up with the following error message: ??? ???
Literally, that is all it shows! I've tried installing using a USB stick too and the same thing occurs at the same bit. It also happens on 13.10 as well.
Eachtime i select OK on the error message, I am taking back to the start of the installation again.
Any ideas?
I am using a HP Microserver N40L.
