There is an additional problem with the Startup disk creator. In checking for my boot error problem I considered the remote possibility that something was wrong with the 32 bit iso file. To answer the question I downloaded Xubuntu 32 bit iso file and used Startup disk creator to write it to the usb stick.
This morning I discovered that when I plugged the stick into the usb connector there was no response at all. The system didn't know that any stick was there. In /media/ilan nothing was listed. I thought the stick was damaged and I could use the guarantee, as it wasn't visible in Windows either. Before claiming the guarantee I had to check that it was really dead. I tried Startup disk creator and that saw the stick but gave me error messages when I tried to erase it. Then I tried partition editor which also saw it. With partition editor I deleted whatever was left of the partition and created a new partition table. That fixed the problem. So Startup disk creator did something very nasty to the stick which may well explain why it wouldn't boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1507002 Title: "boot error" due to gcc v5 transition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/1507002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
