I had the blue screen, downloaded Ubuntu using universal USB... In a new USB, formatted and when I inserted it in my laptop I got the error in the title of my post. Any help there?

Try with dd command.

Download ubuntu.iso file:

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Plug the usbstick

Open a terminal,

Press Ctrl+Alt+T

Run it:

sudo -i
fdisk -l

Suppose that the usbstick is /dev/sdb1, continue running:

umount /dev/sdb1
dd if=/home/user/Downloads/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M && sync

Note:

of= drive (/dev/sdb) not partition (/dev/sdb1), all data are erased

  • dd is a powerful, but dangerous tool, when used in this way. Many people have overwritten valuable data because they have written to the wrong device. Cloning tools with a final checkpoint help avoiding this problem, https://askubuntu.com/questions/674441/what-is-the-proper-way-of-creating-installation-media-from-ubuntu-iso/929586#929586 – sudodus Mar 31 '18 at 07:53
