[Bug 1485882] [NEW] Installation from LiveUSB. Getting annoying Errno 5 message. Install cancelled.

[Dark Matter]

Public bug reported:

This has happened with Linux Mint 17.2 Xfce and now BlackLab Linux 2015.7 Xfce.
I have successfully installed Xubuntu 15.04 on this very same laptop with the same usb stick so I don't know why I'm getting this error message. Seems to be a problem with Ubiquity.

Full error message:
*** The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:

[Errno 5] Input/output error

This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or
a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD
at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are
often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard
disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a
cooler environment. ***
