Bug Description

Hi all!

I installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using a USB stick on a Dell inspiron 5000 series.
I created the USB using usb-creator-gtk on Ubuntu 18.04, using the ISO I downloaded from ubuntu.com.

Install went OK, I chose to erase the entire disk and install fresh.

It asked me to remove media and press ENTER.

I get what you see in the photo - just a GRUB terminal.

The exact same procedure with an 18.04 ISO works fine.

Thanks.

Edit: my mistake, I created the USB stick on the same laptop with Ubuntu 18.04 by doing sudo apt install usb-creator-gtk and then running usb-creator-gtk. I previously stated it was using UNetBootin on Mac. I changed it

I just checked again using Etcher on Mac OS to create the bootable USB from ISO. Same problem.
