Who even has an optical drive these days?
There is, in the output file (of=/dev/sdb1). You passed the first partition
to dd, it should be the disk letter without a partition number (of=/dev/sdb).
like this:
$ sudo dd if=trisquel_8.0_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M; sync
Yeah, I found the out:

So maybe the solution simply was trying over and over in different ports...
Trying different USB ports and plugging them in more than once in each port
helps, too.
It shouldn't help, but it does -- at least on a Libreboot system, it does.
Good morning. I finally succeeded. What made the difference, I don't know.
Regarding the command I pasted above, there is one mistake: One should not
address the partition (e.g. sdb1) but just the device (e.g. sdb). I tried
both several times, so that is not the issue itself.
Though I did n
I used to have those spindles and now they're rotting away in a box. I never
use them anymore (old 'buntus). Burned once, they're fixed and soon useless.
What a waste of space if you only need to burn the latest ISO of your
favourite GNU/Linux. DVD-R discs are more expensive in the long run.
I never saw the point in those, considering how cheap DVD-Rs are. You can
literally get a stack of 100 for $25 (25 cents each). Plus, what if you go
back to a previous one? And DVDs are also a nice medium to put backups on; I
make a DVD backup once every few months for extra redundancy, and I

You can follow that link. When the libreboot menu shows up, pres "c" and set
manually the device and roots for vmlinuz and initrd. From a USB, it should
be something like this (each line is a command):
set root=‘usb0’

You'll only need one -- a DVD-RW. Reusable.
Using DVD to burn and boot distributions is a solig piece of advice. I've had
my share of stubbornly failing USB's but very seldom a DVD.
I do have DVD's. I buy them on a regular store one block away of my house.
You probably want to buy a few. Usually I find them to be better to try ISO's
than regular USB.
They take longer to boot, but are faster to burn. They also tend to have less
problems like the one you are facing.
Go to pretty much any shop and you should be able to find some.
...then again: Who's got an empty dvd these days?
I actually did miss that at first
It looks good to me. My own "I can't believe I was this stupid" problem with
the dd command was somehow not noticing that you had to unmount the USB
stick, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw that out too.
You need to select "burn image" from Brasero and if you use a different DVD
burning program it might be slightly different, such as "burn .iso" to make
it bootable.
It won't boot if you just burn it as data.
No I haven't. Maybe I should. When creating a live DVD, do you just burn the
iso to the DVD?
Did you try to boot with a Live DVD?
Sometimes is the best :) it takes a little longer but wy less than
figuring out the problem. :)
Is there anything wrong with this command:
sudo dd if=trisquel_8.0_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=8M; sync
Just out of curiosity (or despair actually), I tried boot with a usb live
stick of Trisquel 7 which I know works. It also worked now, so the issue must
be about the copying of files to the usb stick (I suppose).
I also checked by .asc, md5 and gpg - the iso-file should be fine
In frustration
And that didn't work out either
What the h*ck is happening?
I will, thanks.
I am actually formatting another one right now. As an alternative I am using
my work computer (Linux Mint) with Unetbootin. Even I have just formatted
that usb stick with 'Disk utility' slow method, Unetbootin tells me that the
file /media/jb/516E-B501//libutil.c32 already
...but I can't make my librebooted computer boot from usb live Trisquel 8.
I have dd'ed and unetbootin'ed, but nothing works. I have formatted over and
over, quick and slow, I have changed block size, I have tried normal iso and
net-install, I have dd'ed to sdb and sdb1
But Libreboot appare
I know you say you have used it before but try a different one. It made all
of the difference in the world for me.
