    [solved] Install won't install anything on my EeePC

    Hello!

    I am currently trying to install Xubuntu on my EeePC.

    I created a live-usb using Unetbootin. The USB seems to be working fine, since Windows recognized it as being a Xubuntu install.
    I changed my boot priorities so that my USB device comes first.
    When I boot, I get this line : SYSLINUX 4.02 debian-20101016 (...) followed by a "_".
    And that's it.

    What should I do?

    The live-usb seems fine, since I get this one line... and it's probably not a problem with the boot order, otherwise it would load something else. I'm really lost, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Edit: problem solved, I formatted the usb device again and it worked! Thanks everyone for the help!

    It can take several minutes to get past this stage. How long did you wait?
    If you install Buntu 17.10 remember to download a new ISO file.

    Old files might contain a bug which can damage UEFI hardware. Updating an existing installation and upgrading to 17.10 (if one has faith in upgrades in general) are safe.

    Check the md5sum of the .iso you created the usb stick from.
    HowToMD5SUM
    Check the cd/usb for defects.
    CDIntegrityCheck

    Btw, what are your hardware specs?

    And what do you mean "windows recognized it"?
    Are you trying to install Ubuntu into windows via Wubi aka windows installer?
