I had the same problem on a Lenovo T440s. UEFI / Secure Boot is
disabled.

I got the "boot error" error.

However, there was a special BIOS option called "USB UEFI BIOS Support".
This was enabled. After disabling it, the USB stick booted fine.

The description for disabled reads: "Disables boot with USB diskette,
USB memory key and USB optical drive.", so not that intuitive to disable
the option., especially since UEFI is already off.

I faced this bug as well, though in a slightly different fashion: 
I was using extlinux directly to install syslinux  a USB pendrive and boot a 
custom Linux distro off it. All well until this bug hit, i,e, Wily's version of 
syslinux!

Thanks to Praveen B - your comment workaround helped me install the
working package from Vivid Vervet, and all worked again.

Oké, in addition on a earlier post (2015-12-11)

Working in 15:10 and downloading the xenial iso (16.04). Unetbootin and
Startup Disk Creator failed to make a bootable USB

However, here a workaround that worked for me.

Right click on the xenial iso file, open with disk image writer, choose
youre usb drive and click Start Restoring. Follow the instructions.

the key made with the startup disk creator does not work, even on old
hardware. nevertheless, simply copying the whole iso image on a key
works.

thus, workaround (as root or sudo):

dd if=ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=16M ; sync

replace "X" with your usb key letter, see eg dmesg or blkid, end then
eject the drive. for "X" do not include any partition numbers.

Hi,

please assign the bug to be resolved.

On Ubuntu 15.10 unetbootin is affected because of syslinux_603 package,
while forcing installation of package from previous Ubuntu release unetbootin 
works ok.

sudo dpkg --force-all -i syslinux_6.03+dfsg-5ubuntu1_amd64.deb

Please correct the syslinux package of wily ( 6.03+dfsg+8ubuntu2 ) which
is causing problems to all syslinux dependent usb disk cerator
softwares.

Thanks from all Ubuntu Wily community of people.

Mauro

The Wily Release Notes
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes#Boot
.2C_installation_and_post-install) indicate that a 15.10 Live USB may be
successfully created using usb-creator "on a matching release of Ubuntu"
(i.e., Ubuntu 15.10.) I believe this is incorrect, as I have
successfully *upgraded* from 15.04 to 15.10, but am unable to create a
bootable USB stick with ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso using either usb-
creator-gtk 0.2.67ubuntu1 or UNetbootin 6081(wily). In all attempts,
"SYSLINUX 6.03... Boot error" message results as initially described.

I also tried using UNetbootin to install the latest "daily-live-x64" iso

Oh yes, there are ways around this bug. This bug affects the Startup
Disk Creator, but there are other tools, that are *not* affected, for
example mkusb in Ubuntu and Win32 Disk Imager in Windows.

Same here.

Created a 15.10 USB on 15.04 and I am stuck with the above mentioned
error. I have no UEFI, so no way around this.

#17, I didn't turn UEFI on or off. My motherboard had two different usb
boot options when I displayed the boot menu, one for legacy boot and one
for UEFI. The legacy one gave the error described in the bug, while the

I don't believe the note on

at the moment. I just tried to make an amd64 15.10 image from 15.10 and
it sort of works in that the uEFI works, but the legacy boot gives the

I can verify, that booting via grub 2 works like it should in UEFI mode.

The amd64 version of Ubuntu Wily daily iso file 'ubuntu-wily-desktop-
amd64.iso' is still affected by this bug, the syslinux boot error. This
is in BIOS mode.

I checked today in UEFI mode, and a pendrive made with the SDC in Wily
and from Wily can boot (and it uses grub 2).

[Bug 1499746] Re: Early Syslinux Boot Error in pendrive made with the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator

2015-09-28 Thread Praveen B
If you are using Ubuntu 15.10 Beta 2 (Wily), then the workaround is to
manually download syslinux_6.03+dfsg-5ubuntu1 debian package from Vivid
repository, extract syslinux binary and use it instead.

syslinux doesn't have other dependencies and other files used when
creating a bootable usb (viz.mbr.bin) are identical between Vivid and
Wily.

The error is primarily due to ldlinux.sys (which gets generated from
syslinux). ldlinux.sys generated from Vivid syslinux doesn't have the
issue.

2015-09-25 Thread sudodus
I am trying now to find something that works - call it workaround or
whatever.

A system was installed from lubuntu-wily-alternate-amd64.iso (Alternate
Lubuntu Wily beta 2 which I iso-tested). From that system I used the SDC
to install from a file that I tested some time ago

ubuntu-wily-alternate-amd64.iso (standard Ubuntu)

into a pendrive, and the pendrive works. It is not affected by this bug.
That iso file is dated August 5.

After that I downloaded the beta 2 version of ubuntu-wily-alternate-
amd64.iso and used the SDC to install it into a pendrive. It is affected
by this bug. So this bug seems to have appeared after August 5.

I can confirm that it works to create USB boot drives from the wily iso
files with the same hardware, when using other tools. I have iso-tested
Lubuntu Wily beta 2 and used mkusb - both cloned live-only systems, and
made 'grub 2 booted persistent live systems'. So the boot structure of
the iso files is OK.

I *CAN* make a working ie bootable 15.04 USB stick with usb-creator on

[Bug 1499746] Re: Early Syslinux Boot Error in pendrive made with the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator

2015-09-25 Thread Chris Hermansen
I am the "another user" Nio mentions above.  To confirm, in my case the
bug appeared two days ago when attempting a 64 bit 15.10 startup disk
under 64 bit 15.04.  I attempted this process on three different USB
devices: a Transcend 16Gb, a SanDisk Cruzer 4Gb and a Lexar USB Card
Reader with a Transcend 4Gb Micro SDHC card in it.

There were no error messages during the usb-creator-gtk session, just an
unbootable USB stick as a result.

I should mention that I had to erase the sticks with the Ubuntu "disks"
utility as the "erase disk" function in usb-creator-gtk would not clear
the drive for me, giving me the message:

org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.GLib.Error: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in 
_message_cb
retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords)
  File "/usr/share/usb-creator/usb-creator-helper", line 275, in Format
block.call_format_sync('vfat', GLib.Variant('a{sv}', {'label':

GLib.Error: udisks-error-quark: 
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error synchronizing after 
initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (0)

The "disks" utility has no problem formatting my usb sticks; usb-
creator-gtk shows no errors (as I noted above) installing the system on
the drive so formatted.

Also I was able to create a working boot disk on the Transcend 16Gb
using unetbootin.
