Canonical has withdrawn the Ubuntu 24.04.5 desktop ISO for AMD64 systems due to a critical bug that causes the installer to crash when the "Extended" install option is selected. The issue stems from leftover references to TPMFDE that create dependency conflicts, preventing installation from completing; however, other architectures, such as Arm64, and server editions remain unaffected. Canonical has already implemented fixes for the affected packages and plans to release a corrected ISO early next week. In the meantime, users can opt for the previous 24.04.4 ISO or use a test build of the patch before the official release
Ubuntu 24.04.5 AMD64 Desktop ISO Pulled After Extended Install Crash; Fix Expected Early Next Week
Canonical has pulled the Ubuntu 24.04.5 desktop ISO for AMD64 architectures after discovering a critical bug that crashes the installer when users select the "Extended" install option. The error originates from vestigial references to TPMFDE in livecd-rootfs and subiquity, which trigger unmet dependency conflicts that prevent installation from completing. Only the AMD64 desktop image is impacted; Arm64 builds, Server editions, and community flavors remain available and functional. Canonical has already merged fixes for both affected packages and expects to republish the corrected desktop image by early next week.
