Can you give us more detail? What goes wrong? What messages appear? Are you using the .run installer? 32 or 64-bit machine/Ubuntu/Ignition?

I would do a clean install of just OS then from a terminal:

1. 
# sudo apt-get update
2. 
# sudo apt-get upgrade
3. 
# sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
4. 
# sudo init 6 ( You need to reboot to load latest kernel)
5. 
# sudo apt-get autoremove
6. 
# sudo apt-get install ntp ntpdate (Will update time)
7. 
# sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

Then install ignition.

What command do you run to install Ignition itself? And what messages does it give you?
