I am loading Ubuntu 14.04 from UNetbootin loaded on to a usb and when it tries to boot it goes to grub. I have loaded a few O/S's and never seen this they would just load the os. Is there a command I need to type in to start? I am just headed to search this grub to see if I can figure it out from there but any help would be great.
Thanks

says on the screen

GNU GRUB version 2.02
something about command push with a few more things

GRUB:

If you're at grub, you have successfully booted, whatever type (UEFI/BIOS) of machine you have. Lets start at the beginning:
1) Did you md5sum check the downloaded iso?
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
Check the number against the listing in the link for your release listed at
http://releases.ubuntu.com under the MD5SUMS link.
2) If using a CD/DVD, did you burn the disc as slowly as possible?
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
3) Did you select the media check before trying to install?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck
4) Did you ever do a "memory check" (another live-media menu choice) on your PC?
Doing the above can save you a lot of time struggling with a bad install media.

Welcome to the Ubuntu Forums :-)

Please specify your computer

- Brand name and model
- CPU
- RAM (size)
- graphics chip/card
- wifi chip/card

It makes it easier to give good advice :-)

And see this link about booting from USB
