| Langley | What do I use for formatting a USB stick in Lubuntu? All the USB startup creators are failing | 17:28 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | for putting an iso on Langley ? | 17:29 |
| Langley | Yes | 17:29 |
| wxl | i use dd, but if you want something more safe there's unetbootin or mkusb | 17:29 |
| wxl | mkusb is developed by one of the lubuntu team | 17:30 |
| Langley | They doesn't work | 17:30 |
| wxl | currently it's not in the repos but we're working on that | 17:30 |
| wxl | i've never had a failure with unetbootin | 17:30 |
| wxl | i personally don't use mkusb | 17:30 |
| wxl | and dd just doesn't fail | 17:30 |
| Langley | Can't you just answer my question about how to format it | 17:31 |
| wxl | you said they don't work? | 17:31 |
| wxl | that kind of suggested you knew what you were doing | 17:31 |
| wxl | i'd just use mkusb https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb | 17:32 |
| Langley | Installed Gparted and formatted it. Why cant you just give a proper answer instead of all other kinds of things | 17:35 |
| Langley | And why does linux have so much trouble with usb sticks... ugh... | 17:36 |
| wxl | i'm not sure what you're looking for. i have no problem with usb sticks. the "proper answer" is found in using mkusb. | 17:36 |
| wxl | shall i reiterate every step of that wiki page for you? | 17:37 |
| Langley | Sorry I gotta go to a movie night | 17:39 |
| vn | trying to boot livecd, does the same as ubuntu xubuntu debian and kali2 - freezes at approx same spot without error - networking.service or whoopsie.service no shell accessible, no syslog, thought of playing with UEFI, but only option I got in my Award BIOS is for CD/DVD..only system that can boot is actually Ubuntu server LTS but grub gets a fatal error. tried removing my NICs to see if it matters, no. it's Lubuntu I really want, others were for testing, idea | 21:40 |
| Langley | wxl: Doesn't seem like mskusb is working either. It's stuck at "please wait for sync" | 22:25 |
| wxl | how do you know it's stuck? | 22:26 |
| Langley | It shouldn't take more time to "sync", whatever that is, than it will to actually put the iso on it | 22:27 |
| wxl | don't you think that's the actual syncing? | 22:27 |
| Langley | What is? | 22:27 |
| wxl | copying the iso | 22:28 |
| wxl | did you look ato see if the process is frozen or not? | 22:28 |
| Langley | How do I see that | 22:29 |
| wxl | top is one such possibility | 22:29 |
| wxl | there's also the system monitor or whatevery they call it | 22:29 |
| Langley | ... oh it finished | 22:29 |
| wxl | well there you go | 22:30 |
| wxl | patience is a virtue | 22:30 |
| Langley | I don't get why it can take that much time to copy 2 GB... but you'll have my thanks | 22:30 |
| wxl | there's a lot of reasons, including the potential bottleneck of using usb | 22:31 |
