Ubuntu stuck at "Please Remove installation media and close tray and press enter"

I installed Ubuntu and after finishing the installation it's stuck at:

Please remove installation media and close tray and press enter.

I tried installing Ubuntu twice and the problem persists.

Four possibilities:

• There's a problem on your PC and its partitions. Perhaps you can wipe the area you want to install Ubuntu on and then try again.

• There's a problem with your installation medium. Unlikely, though, because such an issue would have shown up earlier, I would think. You could try making a new one.

• Your computer is unable to know when the tray is closed. Then you have a hardware problem that will probably require replacement. But it sounds unlikely.

• There's not really a problem, and Linux was installed successfully. Just that the Enter thing doesn't work. If you reboot the computer at that moment, can you use Linux? Because this message usually means the installation was successful.

I experienced the same thing. What I did was, pressing the restart button (for 20 seconds)until everything went off, then when my PC restarted, there you go! The fresh uBuntu. I am uBuntu newbie. :)

Solution for me

1. remove the disk after installation
2. Ctrl + C to leave the message window
3. the computer restarts automatically

I don't know the reason, but I found Ctrl + C help to quit from the window with this message and it restarts automatically.

I had the same issue.

The solution for me was:

-Bring the mouse to the the VM on the top left. -Right click and bring the mouse to “Power”. A window will be displayed on the side.

• click Reset. That worked for me.
