Just confirming that I created a USB boot device using Startup Disk Creator a few days ago using Ubuntu 14.04 for a 14.10 installation iso and got the same problem on booting a Lenovo Thinkpad X230 (i5 CPU) laptop.
$ usb-creator-kde -v Qt: 4.8.6 KDE Development Platform: 4.13.3 Startup Disk Creator: 0.2.23 $ dpkg --list | grep usb-creator ii usb-creator-common 0.2.56.2 amd64 create a startup disk using a CD or disc image (common files) ii usb-creator-kde 0.2.56.2 amd64 create a startup disk using a CD or disc image (for KDE) Using the workaround of typing "live" at the boot: prompt got me to a graphical interface, but I didn't test more as the installation failed, for what I think was an unrelated issue. WORKAROUND: I created a 14.10 installation usb using a 14.10 computer and that worked on the laptop with no errors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645818 Title: Unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/usb-creator/+bug/645818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
