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. Later on I see my disk listed as SATA which points to the vdi file and an IDE optical drive which would point to the iso file. (The actual optical is a SATA device, not IDE.)
If I look at the disk on key in BIOS I see it listed as a hard disk. I just give it top priority. How it REALLY works is beyond me. What you are saying with this being a know issue, is there is absolutely nothing I can do about the problem? My friend who has no CD as part of the computer simply cannot use the 32 bit iso? I already put the 32 bit version on 2 computers with 2GB but both of them had CDs. You are saying I am dead in the water for the computer with no CD? -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
