Kubuntu 18.04 ISO live USB: BIOS does not "see" it, laptop does not boot it.

[Bas Roufs]

- If the USB stick is connected via a USB hub, try if it works with the
stick connected directly to the machine.

*Have tried this - via 3 ports.*

- You could try it with the USB stick in another USB port.

*Have done so.*

- Maybe your BIOS actually does see it, but you have to change the boot
order to put the USB stick before the other boot devices.

*No. The bios really does not mention the stick. *

- I would try to boot from the stick on another machine to verify that
it works there.

*Have done so. Fruitlessly.*

If your BIOS really doesn't see the USB stick, there is probably no
chance to boot from it.


*I am afraid, this is the right conclusion. What else can I do to make the
stick bootable?*

*Yours.*

*Bas.*
