Re: problem with mint 17 install
Hello
I have encountered similar problem today when I was installing Linux 17. I have tried many methods but didnt see light. But was solved when i formatted my usb and creating bootable image with Rufus software http://rufus.akeo.ie/ . I hope this helps if anyone is having trouble and didnt work with otherways. Thanks.

I managed to install Mint 17.1 Rebecca from unetbootin USB Thumbdrive using the command
Not sure if this is documented anywhere. It will point the folder /cdrom to the casper filesystem- worked for me
cheers
Code: Select all
sudo mount --bind /media/mint/casper/ /cdrom
cheers

Re: problem with mint 17 install
Has anyone found the "one solution fits all" for this?
I have tried every suggestion here including swapping hard drives, swapping memory, swapping usb sticks, etc.
I have verified my iso with the checksum. And I can use the iso to install to a VM fine.
I have tried each 17.1 64-bit iso. Cinnamon, Mate, and XFCE.
I've been at this for 5 days now to no avail.
Did anyone report this to Clem?
Thanks!

Re: problem with mint 17 install
I've tried various tricks for UNetBootin but they don't work (for the Mint ISO at least).
Final solution is to use "usb-creator-gtk". It's available on Ubuntu.
I'm surprised such a simple solution didn't get mentioned... on Google they mostly mention alternative USB boot drive writers that run on Windows.

Re: problem with mint 17 install
Thanks. I wound up creating the USB from within Mint and that worked.

Re: problem with mint 17 install
About that all black screen after entering the command in terminal: ctrl alt F7 also gave me an black screen.
I then tried ctrl alt F8 which returned me to the desktop.
Although this suggestion also did not work for me. I also got another error when downloading and installing the updates.
Also, using the usb-creator-gtk seems to solve the problem here (installer is still running, but has not come this far yet).
