    [SOLVED] Problem installing Neon 18.04

    I downloaded neon-useredition-20180927-0529-amd64.iso and checked the sha256sum, then copied the iso to a USB key with

    Code:
    sudo dd if=./neon-useredition-20180927-0529-amd64.iso  of=/dev/sdd bs=16M
    An ls of the key showed

    Code:
    $ ls /media/jon/neon\ user\ 20180927-05\:46/
    boot  casper  dists  EFI  isolinux  pool  SHA256SUMS
    so it looked ok. I then rebooted. The firmware offered me two version of the key, one with its name, the other with UEFI:the same name.

    Booting the UEFI version (I think, I may have inverted these) immediately gives me an error

    Code:
    error: invalid magic number
    and the non-UEFI version gives an error

    Code:
    failed to load ldlinux.c32.
    I downloaded the iso file again, checked the checkusm, dd copied it to a different key. Same result.

    For whatever it may be worth, my GPTED key boots fine.

    I have no idea what to do.

      As indicated on another site, I added "&& sync' to the end of my dd command. All working now.

      Thanks for the suggestion.
