Comment 128 for bug 1922342

Hi,

following sudodus' advice i found
  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/install-ubuntu-desktop/25312
matching
  https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#4-boot-from-usb-flash-drive
but the "Sign Up" button first urges me to enable JavaScript (booh !)
and then says my browser is too old for its "rich content".
I could probably work around, but this is a demand which i only accept
from my local tax authorities (teeth-gnashingly).

@Chris Guiver:

On my way to that discourse page i came to
  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/create-a-bootable-usb-stick-on-ubuntu/14011
where i see comments from "guiverc".
So, i assume that you can point the participants of
  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/install-ubuntu-desktop/25312
to my summary in

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1922342/comments/125

Better warn them that the overall thread is long and full of wrong
theories. But meanwhile the diagnosis is clear.

As background you can point to

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1886148

where Ubuntu ISO production had to switch from MBR partition table to
GPT partitioning, because some buggy EFI implementations need it,
and to

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1899308

where Ubuntu ISO production had to add a MBR partition of type 0x00 with
boot flag for getting some buggy BIOS implementations to work again.
This boot flag partition is what slows down the boot process on the machines
which are reported at this bug (1922342).

If the need arises for discussing with me, then please on this bug report.

Have a nice day :)

Thomas
