I'm trying to boot an Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS USB stick, and it seems it will never enter the Desktop.



I'm stuck on the bootscreen, and here are the lines when I press "ESC" :

It blocks a long while on "Scanning disc for index files...", then writes all the following and re-blocks on next Scanning disc for index files....



I used the usb-creator-gtk program to build my USB stick, with persistent data enabled.



As somebody seemed to have the same problem (http://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/2dsgd5/cant_boot_from_cdusb_to_install_ubuntu/) I tried the solution from there (adding nomodeset), but I still have the same results: blocked at the bootscreen (not really hanged because the little dots are still "alive")...



Does somebody have an idea what happens ?

I finally found a workaround: I created an usb stick with persistent data disabled, and I finally managed to boot correctly!



I was inspired by comment 15 of the bug chapuzzo point me out.
