Finally, finally, some progress. The startup disk creator fails for 32 but 15.10 but dd works! I can finally produce a usb stick which works. If you can confirm the problem on your machine then we can assign the problem to startup disk creator. From my point of view dd gives me a solution I can l

I just did another experiment. There is something illogical about using this machine with 12GB to make a 32 bit stick, so I tried using Startup disk creator on a laptop with 32 bit Ubuntu. This one I updated using a DVD with 15.10 32 bit. Exactly the same problem comes up: from a power off a boo

Does the 32 usb stick boot correctly on your machine? I have been using the startup disk creator from day 1 since that is what is described in the help. Upon thinking I have always used this particular machine to run the startup disk creator. It works fine for the 64 bit version. If you manage to

We need to ascertain what is causing the problem first. Yes, the 32 bit install works fine for most people. dd is a command to copy data around. Assuming the usb stick is /dev/sdb, you can use it to copy the iso image to the stick with: sudo dd if=ubuntu-etc.iso of=/dev/sdb Make sure it really

On my laptop I tried UEFI and BIOS. In UEFI it would not give an error - it would just ignore the usb stick and go directly into the usual Ubuntu. I take this to mean that in UEFI it is intelligent enough to know that something is wrong, but rather than giving an error, it just ignores the usb stic

I'm saying it is a known issue that the 32 bit version can't be used in UEFI only machines. Works fine with conventional bios though. I'm a bit confused now though.. I thought this was only an issue in a vm? Are you saying you can't get a real usb stick to work on real hardware? Is this hardwar

Virtual machines aren't really the problem. I didn't delve into it deeply, but one of the options is select an iso file. I just went to the Downloads folder and pointed to the 32 bit iso.

When you "use the iso file directly" you attach it to the virtual machine either as a virtual hard disk, or a virtual cdrom. Either *should* work, but there are some important differences. I suspect that the 32 bit image does not have a 32 bit grub boot loader listed in the cdrom el torito boot c

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
