Maybe your Lexar is stubborn. What happens if you give it another go? The first thing I do with any flash stick which comes my way is format it as ext3, on linux¹: # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdd1 then label it: # e2label /dev/sdd1 backup_1 # 16 characters max. then mount it, and: # chown -R erik.erik /media/backup_1 That has done a bunch of various brands, including two 8GB Lexars, which are my front line devices now. They've never missed a beat. If we gang up on yours, it'll probably give in. Erik ¹ Either fdisk -l or mount identifies the device. If the latter, then unmount the drive before formatting.

[Emc-users] linux 10.04 install from usb
Hi, Google is sometimes not my friend. Grump for an older guy. ;-) The idea is to install a linux from a live cd to at usb so I can get it on a D510MO. Since this board has no ide the route I think makes sense is: Download live iso from .ro site (done) Transfer iso to bootable usb. Boot from usb and install on a SATA drive. The usb is a 4G Lexar. Fdisk doesn't like it. I have managed to drag and drop at least most of the CD to the usb but that certainly doesn't make it bootable. There must be a reasonable way to do this from the command line. Here is the first stumbling block. dave@dsk:~$ cd /media dave@dsk:/media$ chmod 0777 -v -R -f Lexar mode of `Lexar' changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) dave@dsk:/media$ fdisk /media/Lexar last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 40700 You will not be able to write the partition table. cfdisk simply reports no write perms.

Re: [Emc-users] linux 10.04 install from usb
I recently did this successfully, albeit from a windows machine. I used Linux Live USB creator (http://www.linuxliveusb.com/), pointed it to the iso, and it made the USB stick bootable w/ the CD image. It doesn't just copy files. You should be able to use Unetbootin from the linux command line to do the same thing.

Dave, How about this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick You should be able to use the Linuxcnc LiveCD as the ISO image.

The best laid plans of mice and men I'm not quite sure what they mean by uninstallable. ;-) Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: unetbootin: Depends: libqt4-network (= 4.4.0) but it is not installable Depends: libqtcore4 (= 4.4.0) but it is not installable Depends: libqtgui4 (= 4.4.0) but it is not installable In addition just after I sent the original message I thought: well there isn't that much difference between a CF and a USB ... so I ran the live install against the usb. It seemed to go fine but will not boot. Boot partition is 800 Mb and the other partition takes up all the rest of the 4G. I'm beginning to think the path of least resistance is to unplug my drives on the desktop machine, boot against the live-CD and simply install to the SATA drive I'm going to use with the D510.

Re: [Emc-users] linux 10.04 install from usb
That's what I ended up doing. In my case I was trying to make a bootable usb on a Mac. Tried 3 - 4 different usb sticks without success. First time I ran through the process on an older Win2000 machine, everything worked exactly as it should. Now that particular USB is tucked away as the last resort tool. N.C.
