Ubuntu MATE pi image wont run. I want it to run on a pi 2, but the green light just stays lit. I also tried the imaged sd card on a pi B+ (just to test) and the green blinks 7 times.

I imaged the sd cards from the one available on raspberrypi.org with dd. This is far from my first time using dd so I doubt that's the problem and both pis run rapsbian fine so there's no hardware problem.

Any way to get this to work?

One thing that can happen is that once you download the iso, it gets corrupted on download. You then try again and again to install on the SD, but it won't work because of the faulty download.

Can you try downloading it again and installing it for me?

According to this, LED blinking 7 times mean kernel.img is missing/corrupted. Make sure that this file isn't corrupt and exists.
