Ubuntu 16.04 final not booting from stick: gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R image [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Press TAB when that happens (when you boot and the error message appears) and then you will be able to choose between options (live, live-install, ...). Type live, press ENTER and it will boot you into the live try from there you can install.

I just did it last night. Some kind of systemUSB issue, no idea.

Solution 2:

I made a bootable stick of Ubuntu 16.04, then locked the stick, since there is a hacker trying to close me down. When I tried to boot with this stick, the same thing happened as above, that is, I got the message: gfxboot.c32 - not a COM32R image. I went to this site and I did: “Press TAB when that happens (when you boot and the error message appears) and then you will be able to choose between options (live, live-install, ...). Type live, press ENTER and it will boot you into the live try from there you can install.” After I see on the screen: “live live-install check memtest hd mainmenu help: boot:” Then I typed live, and hit enter. Even though is seems that the “system hang. also, the keyboard and mouse were not responsive.” Ubuntu live is being loaded, but you do not see it on the screen. Wait for 2-3 minutes, and finally Ubuntu 16.04 live will come up on the screen OK. Even though I have a BA in mathematics, I am not a computer geek like you guys. This was just by chance that this worked out OK.
