This article will explain in detail how to install the Ubuntu desktop version. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you for reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Question: the company network my computer is connected to is connected to the Internet using a HTTP agent. When I tried to install Ubuntu using CD-ROM, the installation got stuck trying to get the file, probably because of the agent. The problem, however, is that the Ubuntu installer never prompts me to configure the agent during installation. How do I install Ubuntu Desktop Edition through a proxy server?

Unlike the Ubuntu server version, the Ubuntu desktop version is very automated and does not leave much custom space, such as custom disk partitions, manual network settings, package selection, and so on. While this simple, one-click installation is considered user-friendly, it is undesirable for users looking for "advanced installation mode" to customize their Ubuntu desktop installation.

In addition, a big problem with the default Ubuntu desktop installer is the lack of proxy settings. If your computer is behind the agent, you will see that Ubuntu stagnates as it prepares to download the file.

This article describes how to remove Ubuntu installation restrictions and how to install Ubuntu desktops through a proxy server.

The basic idea is like this. First boot to the live Ubuntu desktop instead of directly starting the Ubuntu installer, configure proxy settings, and manually start the Ubuntu installer in live Ubuntu. Here are the steps.

After launching from the Ubuntu desktop version of CD/DVD or USB, click "Try Ubuntu" on the welcome page.

When you enter live Ubuntu, click the settings icon on the left.

Enter the web menu.

Manually configure the agent.

Next, open the terminal.

Enter the following command to enter the root session.

$sudo su

Enter the following command with root permission.

# ubiquity gtk_ui

It starts the GUI-based Ubuntu installer.

Then complete the rest of the installation.
