Trisquel 7 to bootable usb stick
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
Hello there,
I want to copy trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso to an usb stick so that I can boot from there in order to install it. So far I am not successful. For example I tried following command:
sudo dd if=Software/trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M; sync
The result is an empty stick with a destroyed partition table. I also tried to copy it using Disc Creator on my Xubuntu 16.04.2 LTS system. This is working neither.
I have to add I am able to create a bootable usb stick with Xubuntu 16.04.2 LTS by using both approaches.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Does Xubuntu have an equivalent to the Disks tool (in GNOME it is on the System Settings menu)? Using the Disks tool to make boot USBs has worked for me with both Trisquel and Mint. I have some instructions on this page for how I did it:
https://www.coactivate.org/projects/disintermedia/boot-usb
Let me know if this is unclear, and why, and I will attempt to clarify.
See https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-create-liveusb
I see no reason why the "Startup Disk Creator" (named "usb-creator-gtk" in the package manager) would not run on Xubuntu. Is it the "Disc Creator" you are referring to?
The GNU dd command line you posted is right (that is: "of=" must target
the whole device because the disk image file was made in such way to be
used in that place).
The "destroyed partition" is expected, it's only understood during boot.
Try booting the "destroyed partition", it should work.

When I am using debian I have created a live cd project in which a encrypted LUKS partition persistence can be configured is it possibl to use in trisquel too?
It might be. I never tried it though.
See if the Trisquel wiki has something about it.
If you do accomplish it, and if there is no wiki page about it, please
contribute with such page.
