I am trying to install Ubuntu from a usb drive, and after trying 3 different USB drives, 3 separate downloads of Ubuntu (2 of 16.04 and 1 of 14.04), and 3 different USB creators, I always get error messages when I try to boot from the drives http://askubuntu.com/questions/769271/cant-run-install-ubuntu-from-usb-error-setting-up-gfxboot like this: Loading Bootlogo bootlogo: invalid file format Error setting up gfxboot boot: And this: Error Screen I tried a solution from another question that said to type 'help' at the boot prompt and then press enter, and this either gives me the message "uncompression error --system halted" or "could not allocate memory" and I have to hold the power button to switch the laptop off. I am able to get into the root shell by holding down shift during boot up and entering the GRUB options, but I have no idea what to try. At this point I just want the laptop to work, I don't care about losing all my data. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks. UPDATE: I've successfully managed to install Ubuntu 16.04 - I think changing the boot order in the BIOS rather than just trying to temporary boot from the USB is what did it. usb 16.04 share|improve this question edited May 8 at 16:49 asked May 8 at 10:04 cltweedie 13 add a comment| active oldest votes Know someone who can answer?

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook and loaded on a SanDisk 4 Gb flash drive using the latest USB Universal installer. When I booted from the USB I get the following message. graphics initialization failed Error setting up gfxboot boot: I get this error with both the Netbook and Desktop editions. I check the USB on another system and it worked fine. Here are the specs for my computer: http://laptops-specs.blogspot.com/20...b255-n250.html If I were to hazard a guess as to the reason I would say that the graphics card I have is not yet supported.
