10.10 ubuntu installed. I downloaded xubuntu and kubuntu and ran the startup disk creator. I've tried both of them with the following identical result: it boots, shows the x/kubuntu loading screen and then a scrambled image of my last desktop, e.i. ubuntu, a snapshot from during the time the USB startup disk was being created. I can clearly recognize the website I was visiting during the creation of the USB startup disk in a scrambled screenshot! After I get that there's nothing I can do and I'm left to powering of the computer.

There seem to be a lot of threads with problems with the startup disk creator but none seems to describe this problem.
