Installation gets stuck with the following error. I am able to ping us.archive.ubuntu.com though.

Sometimes, the Ubuntu mirrors are not reachable over IPv6.

Run the following

sudo nano /etc/gai.conf

Scroll with arrow keys down to where it says

#precedence ::ffff:0:0/96  100

and remove the comment (#)

Press control+x to save, and you should be on your way.

Please use code tags - if you are using New Reply button - highlight text and use the # button in the text box header.

If using Quick Reply then [code] at the beginning and [/code] at the end.

I just switched from my wired connection to my wifi connection and it started working - weird.

Thanks for your help.
