I cannot install OR run a live session of Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 either with a USB key or DVD

Question

I use Ubuntu Unity but recently wanted to look at other distros such as elementary and gnome. In all cases I could run a live session and/or install.

The exception is Ubuntu Gnome. My USB just can't boot. I know they get broken so I went out and bought a new one with the same result.

So I tried burning a DVD but I get a message saying the installer has met an unrecoverable error...

I threw the DVD away and went out and bought some new ones with the same result.

I tested the hash.

I then tried elementary and fedora 23 with NO problems.

Can anyone please make any suggestions (other than to stay with Unity)!

Thx

You could install gnome as a desktop environment within Ubuntu. You don't have to install elementary or gnome as a separate distro.

To install Gnome:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop
