During installation, no response from button clicks
I'm attempting to install Ubuntu via USB drive on a PC, with the intention of keeping Windows as a dual boot option.
I tried to create a swap area because I'll be working with relatively large data.
After misunderstanding a tutorial, I tried to use a partition as an Ext4 journaling file system with Mount point "swap point", instead of simply selecting Use as: swap point. After that, I seem to have been brought back to the Installation type window with the Create partition subwindow still open (see screenshot). Clicking "Cancel" or "OK" does nothing. Clicking the power button on the upper right corner of the screen opens the appropriate dropdown window but subsequently clicking the io power icon does nothing.
Did I somehow manage to break Ubuntu? Is it safe to restart this computer manually using the physical power button?
