Could you please help me to fix the bug (An uncaught exception was raised: invalid version string 'fn\x81\xe6\xe1\x8b\xef\xa3\xa861\xa6\xef') getting on creating a bootable USB stick of ubuntu 16.04 desktop iso image at 56% of installation?

I am using ''Startup disk creator'' application. I did md5sums but the result is '' warning: 1 computed checksum did not match''. I am using 12.04 LTS version of ubuntu to create USB stick.

As the others said:

1. Make sure your ISO downloaded okay by checking the MD5 sum, if it didn't download it again
2. You can't use older versions of Ubuntu to make a bootable USB for the newer versions

That being said you could try opening Terminal and running the command:

sudo dd if=~/Downloads/ubuntu-x-x-x.iso of=/dev/yourUsb bs=4m && sync

Obviously substituting the path to the ISO and path to your USB. You should be able to get the path to the USB in the Disks application.
