[Bug 1860411] Re: The Startup Disk Creator is glitchy when I try to use non-Ubuntu iso files
You can trick the Startup Disk Creator to clone non-Ubuntu iso files, because it is willing to clone 'any' image file with the extension img. So make a symbolic link, for example $ ln -s debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-standard.iso debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-standard.img $ ls -ltr total 924676 -rw-r--r-- 1 lubuntu lubuntu 946864128 Aug 18 13:02 debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-standard.iso lrwxrwxrwx 1 lubuntu lubuntu37 Oct 11 11:18 debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-standard.img -> debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-standard.iso I tested this in 18.04.x LTS with usb-creator-gtk and in persistent live Lubuntu Impish Indri with usb-creator-kde, and it worked for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860411 Title: The Startup Disk Creator is glitchy when I try to use non-Ubuntu iso files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1860411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Correction: On Bionic: If it does contain "Ubuntu", the window in the end just contains one "Quit" button. This is also the case after creating a bootable Stick from an original Ubuntu 20.04 iso. If it does not contain "Ubuntu", the window has two buttons - "Test Disk" and "Quit". On Focal: In both cases the window in the end just contains one "Quit" button. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860411 Title: The Startup Disk Creator is glitchy when I try to use non-Ubuntu iso files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1860411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Wolf Pichler, I understand that you write this comment because you want the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator to be improved. But that you do not use it since the days of Trusty. At that time it was an extracting tool with ability to create persistent live drives, and I think it was buggy. In Ubuntu Xenial (16.04 LTS) it was converted to a cloning tool and less buggy (creating only live-only drives), but not willing to copy non-Ubuntu iso files. It would be interesting to know what kind of tool you want it to be. By the way, many modern linux distros provide iso files, that when cloned create persistent live drives, and with an additional menu entry (built into the iso file) Ubuntu would be able to do that too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860411 Title: The Startup Disk Creator is glitchy when I try to use non-Ubuntu iso files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1860411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

While it is possible to create a bootable Stick from an original Ubuntu 20.04 iso it does not work for a modified one - even though the /.disk/info files are identical. It even depends on the name of the source iso how Startup Disk Creator behaves. If it does not contain "Ubuntu", the window in the end just contains one "Quit" button. If it does, the window has two buttons - "Test Disk" and "Quit". Both sticks are unusable though. The last time I know Startup Disk Creator worked for my modified iso files was in Ubuntu Trusty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860411 Title: The Startup Disk Creator is glitchy when I try to use non-Ubuntu iso files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1860411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
