Recently, I made a bootable USB stick with version 18.04 and
install OS from the USB stick to the hard disk.
The installation process follows the normal steps without any special configuration.



The whole installation process is correct and completed.
Then it shows a button to request doing the system reboot.
The steps of the reboot as follows:



  1. Push the button, the system is trying to reboot.

  2. The message show "Please remove the installation medium, then reboot".

  3. Remove USB stick physically.

  4. Type ENTER key and wait for a while.
    However, there is no response and message stops requesting for removing medium.

How about "then reboot"? Does it mean to press the ENTER key and wait for the reboot by itself, or push system reset button (send reset signal) physically?

    Have you tried to do what it says ? Remove the USB you installed from ?

It's been my experience that if you do what the system requests of you you will get far more positive results than if you don't. Please remove the installation medium means that if you have installed from a USB flash drive, unplug it and if you've install from an optical disk, eject it prior to pressing enter to reboot the system. This is the expected behavior. If this doesn't seem to apply to you add further detail to your question specifying what media you are installing from and to.

  • @johnchn Be aware that booting from a USB flash drive can possibly change your expected drive designations. Prior to installing, after booting from the installation media, open a terminal and check the output of sudo parted -l to make sure you are installing to the device desired. Coffee Lake is a bit too expensive for me, but you might try installing a HWE kernel prior to installation to see if you get different results.

A poweroff following by a cold start works the same as a reboot after the Ubuntu installation has been finished and you get the Please remove the installation medium, then reboot. message. Just make sure that the installation medium is removed before starting the computer again or it will boot from the Ubuntu installation medium again instead of booting normally from what is installed on the hard drive.



  1. Shut down the computer by holding down the power button.


  2. Remove the installation medium (USB or DVD). A DVD can be removed by manually ejecting the CD/DVD tray if you temporarily stop the boot process by entering the BIOS/UEFI setup utility, eject the CD/DVD tray, remove the DVD, close the CD/DVD tray, and then exit the BIOS/UEFI setup utility without saving any changes.


  3. Wait for one minute and then cold start the computer by pushing the power button.


  4. Now your new Ubuntu installation will be able to boot normally.

    I face the same question, and my solution is ... unplug my USB and wait ..., and after probably 30min the computer reboot itself.
