I challenge you to name a bigger piece of shit than Unetbootin
>install iso to usb
>Everytime I try and boot the USB "No operating system found"
This shit never fucking works.
This is true
Anyone knows a good alternative?
I know there is Rufus for Windows
anyone has one for GNU/Linux?
>>54480745
boot the USB what?
>>54480761
LiLi works everytime.
>>54480770
What don't you understand? It's pretty straight forward.
>>54480761
Try Yumi. It's done its job well, installing its boot loader and numerous isos on to a flash drive http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
>>54480790
Does dd install a bootloader on the disk, or simple extract the iso.
>>54480805
>not knowing what dd does
>>54480823
I know what it does, it copies the contents of an iso for example to a disk.
>>54480745
Worked every single time for me. Consider buying a Mac.
>>54480850
so why ask when you already know the answer?
>>54480784
USB mouse? USB hard drive? USB game controller?
I'm sorry, you'll have to be more specific
>>54480866
Why would I buy a Mac?
>>54480790
you mean dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdXY
>>54480875
In the context it's pretty obvious what I meant. You don't write an iso to a mouse silly.
>>54480871
Because simply copying the contents of an iSO doesn't mean you can boot it.
>>54480805
to make it bootable you have to sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda1
>>54480878
Because you're OP. OP is a fag. Fags use Macs. Simple math.
>>54480910
No thanks
And recovering it wouldnt be too hard
>>54480745
>doesn't switch boot order in bios
topkek
>>54481470
>using bios to boot the USB disk
Why not use the boot manager.
>>54480910
>/dev/urandom
why not just /dev/zero?
it'll be a ton faster.
>>54480745
It used to work. They broke it recently or something.
>>54480745
Works on my machine.
>>54481525
Doesn't work on mine. Therefore, devs are shit.
>>54480761
Win32 Disk Imager
>>54481530
Nah mate, your machine must be broken somehow.
>>54481565
But it's not broken. The software is broken.
just use dd you winplebs.
someone even bothered to port dd for your shitty excuse of an OS.
>>54481498
Same speed.
>>54481577
bullshit.
then your entropy pool is all kinds of fucky.
>>54480745
Did you format to fat32 and set bootable true first?
Bet you didn't..
>>54480887
Yes, dd will make it bootable.
sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdb (path to USB bs=10M (write speed, 10-12 is the highest I've been successful with)
>>54481594
urandom falls back on pseudo random number generation if it depletes the entropy pool dipshit
Which means the SSD/HDD is going to be the bottleneck.
>>54481648
uh ok kid.
It's still slow.
Just use PXE like a normal person...

No shit, but you're full of shit if you're claiming urandom is just as fast as zero.

OpenSSL's is much better.
>>54481986
Can it copy ISO instead of img files though?
You have to properly format your clash drive.
>>54481996
Yes you fucking retard.
>>54480745
Just use Rufus, faggot.
>>54481996
Yes, just switch the filetype to all files for them to show up.
>>54480761
Yumi!
>>54480745
dd if=memedistro.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4/8/32M
or
rufus.exe
>>54480745
It's right there in the name, it's a mix of german and english,
u = you
net = slang for nicht = not
bootin = booting
It's already telling you, You not booting
>>54482405
>>54482057
Uh whenever i use that program it makes the usb disk unaccesbile like I cant view the files in the usb, and when I try and boot it up from the boot manager nothing happens.
>>54482621
You are not boating.
>>54482758
That's the point, it formats the usb to whatever filesystem is in the iso. You can revert it back to normal by using windows' disk manager, by removing the unknown partitions and creating a new ntfs/fat partition.
>>54482826
So why wouldnt it boot, ive tried instaling like literally 10 different iso using multiple disk writer programs
>>54480745
literally gnome-disks ( or gnome-disk-utility) is working for every sane distro perfectly if you need gui, dd if not. rufus/UUI for windows (i also use rawrite32 since it works just like dd)
>>54482767
Fucking awesome movie.
>>54480761
Opensuse startup disk creator (it works for all distro)
>>54482859
It's possible that the iso got fucked, either by it getting corrupted during download, or because canonical are a bunch of shitters that can't keep their iso's straight.
It's also entirely possible your usb stick is a piece of shit. In my entire pile of sticks I have one such blockhead that for some reason doesn't ever wants to be bootable.
I suggest redownloading the iso and trying again. I always use that tool and the only distro to ever give me trouble with it is arch, ubuntu should work fine.
>>54482947
im installing FreeBsd and have verified the md5sum
>>54482960
For as far as I know it should work, as freebsd frequently recommends the tool. Though since it's fucking BSD with it's shoddy hardware support you might wanna look around on their forums. This thread https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/11715/ seems to be dedicated to usb installs.
>>54483007
I got it to work
Yeah, that software is always wonky.
Debian wheezy was the last .iso I've managed to boot on my laptop from a USB.
Not even dd manages to make a proper bootable image.
Since then I always burn it to a CD/DVD.
This is the most niggerproof way to do it and works on every device.
