I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my desktop pc, but it wan't connect to the internet, and I keep getting a fatal error
Hello, i'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64Bit on my home desktop pc as my main work OS. When I boot into the installer it says I have no internet connection, My computer is directly connected to my router, and my router is working fine, so i'm not sure why this keeps happening. I tried to install Ubuntu without internet anyways, and the installation seemed to be going fine at first, but right before the installation finishes a fatal error pops up saying "grub-install /dev/sda failed". I looked this error up and fond some fixes online, but none of them seemed to work for me. I tried running the installer again a few more times in and out of live boot mode, but with no luck. At first I thought maybe my Ubuntu disc was messed up, I tried re-burning it. After I made the new disc I tried installing Ubuntu again, but I still ended up with the same problems. I then tried burning Ubuntu to a USB, but once again I ended up having the same issues as I had with using a disc. After struggling with trying to get Ubuntu installed, I decided to try to install a few different linux distributions in hopes to get at least one to work. I tried Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Manjaro, and Arch Linux, but sadly they all seemed to have the same problems, no internet connection and some type of fatal error at the end. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've been running Ubuntu on my laptops for a long time now, and i'd live to be able to use it on my desktop to.
