Unetbootin not see usb flash drive (Solved)

[disallowed]

Hi. My system is tahr 6.0.5. I installed Unetbootin from PPM. But it doesn't see my usb flash drive. No matter if it's mounted or unmounted, no matter if it's ext4 or fat32. Any idea?

trying executing from terminal and type "unetbootin targetdrive=/mnt/sd??

Thanks.

Code: Select all

You must first mount the USB drive /mnt/sdb to a mountpoint. Most distributions will do this automatically after you remove and reinsert the USB drive.

I reinsert it, I click on its icon, nothing. Always the same message.

There is a thread in Additional Software-Utilities:

Note:
If Unetbootin is not finding your USB drive.

Sometimes you have to force the issue with Unetbootin.

Start Unetbootin from the console by using this command.

Code: Select all

unetbootin installtype=USB targetdrive=/dev/sdb1

You tell it the target USB drive you want it to use.

My USB flash drive is sdb1

Just make the targetdrive=/dev/ (whatever your USB drive is identified as)

If you are installing a Puppy iso.

mount the flash drive: "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1"
they try the command again: "unetbootin installtype=usb targetdrive=/mnt/sdb1"

This seems to have got the job done:

Code: Select all

unetbootin targetdrive=/dev/sdb1

Thank you all.

PS: first time I wrote sdb instead of sdb1. My mistake, sorry.
