Hiya! I have a known good Ubuntu 22.04 USB that has worked on other devices, but when I try to install it on this PC I get a blank screen with “stdin: Invalid argument” repeated 30 times or so, and at the bottom it says “Unable to find medium contained a live file system” and then attempts to boot from URL. (For some reason lemmy won’t let me upload a picture!)

I’ve tried multiple different USB ports, I’ve looked at the BIOS and can’t find any secure boot or legacy stuff that needs to be disabled. Not sure how to progress!

Help would be greatly appreciated <3

    I’ve had this issue especially with HP computers, the solution I found was booting from ventoy and using its grub2 option when loading the ISO. Idk if this can be done manually, but ventoy is a pretty useful tool anyway

      Gosh thank you so much! I had never heard of Ventoy before but it was so easy and worked instantly!

        Glad it helped! I never leave home without my USB of ISOs, came in handy more than once!
