I've been trying to create one recently, under 14.04 running the lts-utopic kernel. It seems the old problem of flushing is back. When I run "dd if=ubuntu-14.04.1-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdg bs=4096" it exits almost immediately, and then the LED on the USB spends the next several minutes flashing constantly as if data is being written. When it is done however, it seems I can't actually boot from it.
I want to re-install my laptop, using UEFI only (ideally with secure boot, but I don't know if it is possible), and full disk encryption, but I just can't seem to get a working bootable USB stick made. :-/ On Thu, 2015-01-22 at 12:03 +0100, Daniel Holbach wrote: > Hello everybody, > > in the past few weeks I saw the discussion about what was the best way > to create Ubuntu USB sticks a couple of times.
