[20:05] <PumaElBusta[m]> Hi, I'm stuck with a live boot issue. I downloaded and flashed the most recent LTS iso, on my T470  selected the USB mass storage as boot device, and it just blinked black and returned to the same boot options menu.
[20:05] <PumaElBusta[m]> Tried different tools to flash, unetbootin, rosaimagewriter and balena etcher, the result is the same. Checksum verified, is matching.
[20:05] <PumaElBusta[m]> If I flash a KDE Neon it boots up from USB without issue. (The secure boot option is off)
[20:05] <PumaElBusta[m]> Do you have any idea why it happens only with this image?
[20:11] <PumaElBusta[m]> (installing KDE Neon and then the studio installer doesn1t seem to be an option, since I had Neon installed, I tried that first but it went to black screen only on boot and I didn't want to mess around, would go for a clean install preferably)

[23:11] <OvenWerks> PumaElBusta[m]: I have found that while my bios says it can see my usb drive as both efi and normal, I have to boot it as efi to get it to boot. Once it has booted, when I install, I do the partitioning manually, forget to create a boot partition and when it warns me, cancel and continue. Once it has installed, I boot another partition, run update_grub, reboot to the new partition and do 
[23:12] <OvenWerks> grub-install <device>... That works for me. I have a number of different partitions that I don't want efi to mess with and so that is my method to get around it.
