I wanted to try out Ubuntu without fully installing it on my PC, so i created a bootable Flash Drive, following these instructions https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#0 I have a dell XPS 13 2 in 1. The Flash Drive is USB 2.0, that is put into a USB 3.0 to Thunderbolt 3 Switch. During the restart I hammered the f12 key like a maniac, came to the boot menu of dell and told the pc to boot from my USB 2.0 Flashdrive. I then passed some screens whith wite text on black background, that did not require actions from me and then came to a Screen like this one https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vs0vHKOfLFA/UIJIBuUQEnI/AAAAAAAABjs/sNxZ9gLwj58/s510/1350715389451.png For the first 30 sec, the white dots moved and indicated booting, but then they stopped moving. After 10 min or so i forced my laptop to shut down by pressing the power button. I have tried several times, it is always the same. I only have acess to this PC, so i can't check if the problem is reproducable on other PCs.

Any Ideas what to do? Thanks in advance, Padit

    Have you tried with other usb ports? Also would be neat to check the iso. Be nice with you keyboard :P Oct 31, 2019 at 20:12

    Unable to duplicate the problem. My 19.10 USB boots just fine.

  • @K7AAY I disabled the secure boot, but could not finde options for fast boot it csm or win 10 features in the bios menu. But the disabeling of the secure mode did not help.

    Try with a different version, say 19.10. Oct 31, 2019 at 20:48

I did not solve the problem entirely, but found a nice work around! If you create your boot-usb-drive with this http://Pendrivelinux.com instead of rufus and use FAT32 it works fine for me!
