I was trying to use 2 methods "HOWTOMD5SUM" and "HOWTOSHA256SUM", but they are all way complicated for a newbie. Is there an application that could do the same in a simple way? I've already tried "checksum calculator" too, but it seems to work on iso files, not on live CDs.

How about choosing the "Check CD for defects" from the boot menu? :)

This is an screenshot from an old Ubuntu version, in newer versions you have to hit Enter during the boot process when you see this screen to see this menu:
