Can't install Ubuntu from USB
Coming from Windows 10, I want to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
My current system specifications:
- Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (4th generation)
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz (4 CPUs), 2.2GHz
- 64-bit
- UEFI
With the software Rufus, I created a bootable USB drive, from the official Ubuntu ISO (ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso). I used the following settings:
Device: Kingston 64 GB USB
Boot selection: ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
Partition scheme: GPT
Target system: UEFI (non CSM)
File system: NTFS
Cluster size: 4096 bytes (Default)
I have disabled Secure Boot and Fast Startup.
When booting up, and getting to the menu, where I choose which to boot from, I get the following choices:
Windows Boot Manager
ubuntu
ATA HDD0
USB HDD: Kingston DataTraveler 3.0
PCI LAN
Pressing "ubuntu" refreshes the menu, almost like it tries to start something. Nothing happens, . Pressing "USB HDD: Kingston DataTraveler 3.0", opens GNU GRUB, where I don't know what to do. I suppose pressing "ubuntu" should be the normal way to install?
Does anyone know what goes wrong here?

Ubuntu installation ISO works after justdd-ing to USB, without creating a filesystem beforehand. I believe Rufus provides an option to "ddimage to USB" or similar. This should be your first choice.

Using Rufus, select MBR partition scheme, FAT32 filesystem.
Those settings are for the Ubuntu USB image, not instalation on your computer.
