| panparadox[m] | hello, is there a way to format a pendrive in ubuntu studio? I can't seem to find that option | 21:26 |

| Eickmeyer[m] | panparadox: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#1-overview | 21:27 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | You can find Startup Disk Creator in Discover on 20.10+, or Software on 20.04. | 21:28 |
| OvenWerks | panparadox[m]: The partition manger seems to format sticks just fine | 21:29 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | I misunderstood the question. facepalm | 21:29 |
| * Eickmeyer[m] facepalms | 21:29 | |
| Eickmeyer[m] | partition manager or gparted do the trick to just format. | 21:30 |
| * OvenWerks notes that there are lots of command line tools as well :) | 21:30 | |
| OvenWerks | there is the whole group of /sbin/mk*fs* tools | 21:32 |
| OvenWerks | as well as *fdisk | 21:34 |
| panparadox[m] | I downloaded a partition manager from Snap Shop and I can't really find an option to format the pendrive | 21:41 |
| panparadox[m] | and I'm quite new to linux, I don't know how to download stuff through Terminal | 21:42 |
| OvenWerks | panparadox[m]: a pen drive looks like any other harddrive to linux | 21:46 |
| OvenWerks | so if you plug a pen drive in and type dmesg in a terminal you should see what the system thinks it is. | 21:46 |
| OvenWerks | so: 282800.089607] usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings | 21:47 |
| OvenWerks | followed by lots of other lines... at the bottom: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk | 21:48 |
| OvenWerks | this means my pin drive is /dev/sdd | 21:48 |
| OvenWerks | the line just above that on my case shows: sdd: sdd1 sdd2 sdd3 sdd4 | 21:48 |
| OvenWerks | which says there is 4 partitions on this one. you would want to remove all those. Mine has them because I have used dd to copy ISO images of various sizes to the stick and linux sees the left overs as another partition. I go through and remove them all once in a while | 21:51 |
