| fmarier | is it just me or does usb-creator-gtk not work at all on 14.04? | 03:28 |
|---|---|---|
| fmarier | i'm trying to avoid burning a DVD and using a USB stick instead | 03:29 |
| ibeardslee | I found it does finally work | 03:29 |
| ibeardslee | after spitting the dummy in earlier releases | 03:29 |
| ibeardslee | I had installed usb-creator-kde on the precise to saucy releases | 03:30 |
| fmarier | well, i have it on 14.04 and if i try to burn a 12.04 stick, I just get "installation failed" in a popup with nothing on the console | 03:31 |
| fmarier | there must be a way to do this with just dd | 03:31 |
| ibeardslee | unetbootin is another that people use | 03:33 |
| fmarier | let's see what "dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdg count=2 bs=2G" does | 03:34 |
| fmarier | uh, bs=1G rather | 03:35 |
| mwhudson | fmarier: i made it work earlier | 03:42 |
| mwhudson | but it was a bit of a fight | 03:42 |
| mwhudson | (i needed to format the disk like it expected first) | 03:42 |
| fmarier | it looks like the above dd command was all i needed | 03:45 |
| ibeardslee | fmarier: really? I thought some fudging of boot sectors and things was needed to convert it from the ISO. | 03:51 |
| fmarier | ibeardslee: apparently it's not necessary anymore since 12.04 | 03:51 |
| fmarier | those ISOs include whatever you need to boot the ISO up | 03:51 |
