Hi Phillip, You are mixing apples and oranges. Let me clarify. With the virtual machine I use the iso file directly - no problem there.
It is the boot from power off using a boot from a usb disk on key, where there is a problem. In that case it passes the BIOS and tries to boot. I just did it on my laptop and I can hand copy what is on the screen: SYSLINUX 6.03 EDD 20150813 Copyright (C) 1194-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al Boot error I am not yet in any operating system, other than the BIOS which I just passed. What I expect to happen, if all would work, is that it go into a screen asking if I want to try Ubuntu or install Ubuntu. BTW a friend has a machine with 2GB with no CD and the only way I can convert it to Ubuntu is with a disk on key, so it is fairly urgent. Also it isn't a great idea that the official Ubuntu software (32 bit) doesn't boot from a disk on key. The 64 bit version boots with no problem. The second part of your question is irrelevant. No CD and no USB for making the virtual machine. The virtual machine came directly from the iso file - with no problems. I did this as a further check that the iso itself is OK. Just the boot when you do it from a power down state via usb, is there a real problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512811 Title: 15.10 32 bit download gives error when run from usb To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1512811/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
