Using Ubuntu 15.10 fully patched but held back on older kernel due to problems with 4.2.0-19 Linux happy 4.2.0-18-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 18:25:50 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I attempted to blank the USB stick that I used to install 15.10 on this machine. Startup Disc Creator complained of not enough space even after "Erase drive". Gparted issued the attached error message. The utility Disks only deleted a portion of the stick. I used mkusb to wipe the first MiB. Gparted then created a new partition formatted FAT32 (whole drive, 8GB) Used Unetbootin to create a new bootable installer (Xubuntu 14.04 32bit) It refuses to boot, error is "missing operating system" This is day two of trying to do something that is usually very easy :( ** Attachment added: "startup.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1549603/+attachment/4582716/+files/startup.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1549603 Title: Please document how users can return usb drive to a storage drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1549603/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
