I have created a bootable USB with ubuntu 10.10 with usb-creator-gtk from terminal. How ever it is not getting booted. It keeps loading in the ubuntu main screen.. Is there a way to debug this problem and find the cause?

1Have you checked that USB comes before the hard drive in the boot order menu in your BIOS setup?– SergeySep 27, 2011 at 11:01

You could try unetbootin instead– c76c3r8c42b347r8Sep 28, 2011 at 21:41

I have the same thing(i am working on a desktop computer), but i think that there is some motherboards that didn't support booting from the USB even if you make the USB is the first in the boot list !!!– Black BlockDec 20, 2011 at 16:26

When you boot, at the boot splash, edit the boot line (usually hit the tab key) and edit (remove) the quiet and splash options.
I had similar problem, Ubuntu hanging during install from usb 3.0 slot. After moving usd-drive to usb 2.0 everything went ok. Check, if it's your case.
usb-creator-gtk also does NOT always work as expected, try unetbootin instead (it supports a lot of distros, not only Ubuntu).
At least here with 10.10 when booting it would just go to a console & not load the session. The only way would be to type this & press enter

Though not sure if that's what you're seeing based on question's description
Is your USB key/drive booting with another computer ?
Is legacy usb enabled in the BIOS ?
Did you try to "Load setup defaults" in your BIOS ?
It may also help if you add your motherboard model / BIOS version.
