I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from the official website I created a LiveUSB under Linux with the ISO but when the computer boots the loading starts but never end and freezes.

I also tried to create the Live USB with Lili under Windows 7, same issue

I'm suprised i'm the only one with this problem, do you know where I am wrong ? Thanks !

Try http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick#Create_a_Live_USB_.28GUI.29 It helped to me. I think there should be official Live USB creator by Canonical. Because with Download Pen Drive Linux's USB Installer i had problem every damn time. With Ubuntu startup disk creator there is no problem... But when you are at Windows you should use that for OpenSUSE

Try formatting the USB in Windows and use UNetbootin to create a live USB.

That error is sometimes caused by the USB drive. Some USB drives dont support live usb booting

I had a same problem. I used Live USB creator, Pen Drive Linux's USB installer and even UNetbootin but the pen drive still could not boot. Then I came up with LiveUSB Install, used it to burn the ISO file to my pen drive and it worked like a charm! Hope this might help.
