Coming from Windows 10, I want to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
My current system specifications:
- Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (4th generation)
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz (4 CPUs), 2.2GHz
- 64-bit
- UEFI
With the software Rufus, I created a bootable USB drive, from the official Ubuntu ISO (ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso). I used the following settings:
Device: Kingston 64 GB USB
Boot selection: ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
Partition scheme: GPT
Target system: UEFI (non CSM)
File system: NTFS
Cluster size: 4096 bytes (Default)
I have disabled Secure Boot and Fast Startup.
When booting up, and getting to the menu, where I choose which to boot from, I get the following choices:
Windows Boot Manager
ubuntu
ATA HDD0
USB HDD: Kingston DataTraveler 3.0
PCI LAN
Pressing "ubuntu" refreshes the menu, almost like it tries to start something. Nothing happens, . Pressing "USB HDD: Kingston DataTraveler 3.0", opens GNU GRUB, where I don't know what to do. I suppose pressing "ubuntu" should be the normal way to install?
Does anyone know what goes wrong here?
dd
-ing to USB, without creating a filesystem beforehand. I believe Rufus provides an option to "dd
image to USB" or similar. This should be your first choice.
