I came back to this today as I was a little puzzled, having previously
run both pCP and raspberry PI OS on a ssd, and thinking that Ubuntu
being popular with many as a server, the install should be
straight-forward :rolleyes:

I tried using the rpi imager to select and install the LTS but it would
not start.

I made an image on a sd card and was able to to install LMS and
squeezelite.

I copied that image to my Windows 10 Pro Desktop and used Balena-Etcher
to burn it to a hybrid usb hard drive.... No luck with that :confused:

I found a post with instructions to replace the some of the start up
files in the /boot and also install new files to help the Ubuntu image
boot.........No luck with that :confused:

I then swapped to a Crucial sata ssd usb drive and repeated the
process..........You know that definition of stupidity.... :p

Any way much internet searching found this

and that cracked it :):)
