When I use the "Startup Disk Creator" utility (in System Settings), I create live USB distros (mainly Trisquel or Ubuntu) which work ok on other computers, but they do not boot in my beloved Libreboot Gluglug X60.

When I start my Gluglug X60 and choose "Parse ISOLINUX menu (USB)" so that it boots from the plugged-in USB drive, it does nothing or it says:

"error: unknown filesystem.

Press any key to continue..."

Pressing a key just takes me back to the boot menu again.

But Live USB drives work ok if I create them through:

$ sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M;sync

However, that does not solve all my problems. I would like to know if it is possible to make my Gluglug X60 boot from a USB drive created with the "Startup Disk Creator" tool. That way I could easily create a persistent directory too.

And the same goes for Tails, it would be nice to be able to run Tails on the Gluglug X60. Tails gives me the same "unknown filesystem" error as described above.

Any advice?

Thank GNU!
