I know this because I was present in front of the screen before leaving the installation for itself. During the 2nd installation attempt, there were two packages whose download had stopped, but the installation had skipped over them to continue with other packages. This time, it froze after the installation was complete. I forcefully shut down my system by holding down the power button and restarted the installation process by running the command again. I returned to find that the system had frozen midway. Since the total size of the packages was quite large (>3 GB) and the ETA was >1.5 hrs, I'd left the installation for itself. I installed texlive-full with the command: sudo apt-get install texlive-full

I'm new to linux, and I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my desktop.
