FreeRadius Fresh installation 3.0.23 "${dialect}" Reference "${dialect}" not found

[Pizu]

Hmm are you suggesting I am lying? Why should I? I need help that is why I
asked for help. I don't need to lie to get help.

I am installing the OS from a USB, formatted with Rufus with Ubuntu server
iso download from the official site.

The VM is being installed by mounting the iso. Same iso.
