I'm trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 from flash disk on my laptop (Asus x550j) but each time it freezes at the "updates and other software" page.
I tried different ways: normal install, minimal install, installation without networking, installation with networking, but still the same problem.
Regards

I had the same problem, and I spent several days trying different .ISO files, USB sticks, UEFI and secure-boot settings, all to no avail.
I finally did find a workaround, but you're not going to like it because it is time-consuming. First install Ubuntu 16.04, and then upgrade to 18.04 with this:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
The upgrade takes a few hours, but at least it works.

Thank you. I tried the same solution and it worked, but since it took a very long time, I thought there will be a better solution. I don't know if this problem is related to the laptop type (Asus x550j), or not?

@shambakey1 Given that you know it works I think the answer deserves at least an up-vote from you.... Rene only has one point and I have given him 10 more by an up-vote based on your acknowledgement it works. I think it's the nice thing to do :)

Possibly the installation media is corrupt/damaged.
I recommend downloading the .iso again, and then after the download is complete, verify the file using a hash function. You can see the hash files listed alongside the .iso's:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/
Here's a more complete tutorial on that, if needed:
https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu#0
Once you have a known good .iso, install it onto a freshly formatted usb flash drive. On your first boot of the flash drive, instead of trying ubuntu, select to "Verify boot media". This will run an additional check to ensure the .iso was written to the usb drive without error.
If that also completes without error, try installing ubunto onto your laptop again with this verified image and known good installer.

Thank you. I tried what you said, but unfortunately, it still hangs. The only new thing is that it may hang at 'disk layout' page instead of 'software download' page. I also tried to install from DVD, and tried different installation options (e.g., minimal installation, installation without downloading software, ... etc), but still no progress.

Once you have a known good .iso, install it onto a freshly formatted usb flash drive. On your first boot of the flash drive, instead of trying ubuntu, select to "Verify boot media". This will run an additional check to ensure the .iso was written to the usb drive without error.
If that also completes without error, try installing ubunto onto your laptop again with this verified image and known good installer.
