Checklist

• I looked at https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/wiki/FAQ to see if my question has already been answered.
• I performed a search in the issue tracker for similar issues using keywords relevant to my problem, such as the error message I got from the log.
• I clicked the 'Log' button or pressed Ctrl-L in Rufus, or used DebugView, and copy/pasted the log into the section that says <FULL LOG> below.
• The log I am copying is the FULL log, starting with the line Rufus version: x.y.z - I have NOT removed any part of it.

Additionally (if applicable):

• I ran a bad blocks check, by clicking Show advanced format options then Check device for bad blocks, and confirmed that my USB is not defective.
• I also tried one or more of the following:
  • Using a different USB drive.
  • Plugging the USB into a different port.
  • Running Rufus on a different computer.
• If using an image, I clicked on the (✓) button to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied. I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.

Issue description

Even though a bootable disk is created successfully when trying to boot Ubuntu Server 22.04, an error message occurs saying 'Aborted. Press any key to exit...'. This issue does not occur when using Rufus 3.22. I tried before and after using Rufus 4.0, in both instances, the bootable disk made by Rufus 3.22 worked fine while Rufus 4.0 gave the same error.

Log

[pbatard]

Just a hint: Aborted. Press any key to exit... is not an error. 452: out of range pointer is.

When you report an issue, please make sure to report the actual error message, rather than the part that simply says to press any key.

With this being said, this is a duplicate of #2233, with the problem being that because GRUB and Ubuntu are completely oblivious to the mess they have created, it's going to be a while before I can sort out a VERY IMPERFECT solution that can cater to both older and newer versions of Ubuntu that use some Frankenstein's monster's form of GRUB 2.06...

Even though #2233 is closed, I am partially tracking it there, as well as in #2191. Therefore, after editing the title of this issue, I will close it as duplicate.
