[Bug 1325801] Re: failed to boot from USB disk with error: gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R Image boot:

 

@Brian Murray, I didn't try using dd in Utopic because using 'usb-
creator' in Utopic to create a Utopic live USB has never failed since I
began testing on or around 20140922.

The only failures I've been able to reproduce can be summed up as,
"Utopic live USB's created with the Trusty or Precise versions of 'usb-
creator-gtk' fail to boot and display the error reported in this bug".

Creating a Utopic live USB using dd in Trusty produced a bootable live
USB with no errors. I haven't yet tried using dd in Precise to create a
Utopic live USB but I don't mind doing it if you'd like.

BTW if someone else wants to try it I found it quite simple:

sudo dd if=path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sd#

So my archived 20140922 iso was on the Desktop, and the desired flash
drive was /dev/sdc so;

sudo dd if=Desktop/utopic-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdc

Wish I'd taken time to learn that sooner.

Oh, so far I've been using my archived 20140922 iso for all of the
testing but going forward I'll try the latest daily images just in case
something unapparent changes.

  this bug is similar with Bug #645818, but we cannot confirm whether
  they are the same.  If we type "live" and press enter, we can enter
  live mode.
