![]() ![]() Wasted hours on this.I think you know what to do, and that the problem is actually because of the USB drives. I am wondering if the usb appears to be something that it is not. I even tried "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd? bs=4096" to try and destroy whatever is on the USB but after creating the partition table again etc etc. I tried "dd if=xxx.img of=/dev/sd?" and seems to copy the image but won't boot. It comes with something called urDrive that seems difficult to get rid of. I bought 4 new USB drives last week, all the same manufacturer ( KINGSTON ) and none of them work. I tried a different usb drive by a different manufacturer and unetbootin for that worked fine. I'd be very surprised if it's a unetbootin problem now. It makes no difference what OS or iso I try to load, the list of files copied to the drive varies each time and of course it never boots. I have isolsted the problem a bit but not solved. rw-r-r- 1 felix felix 0 Jul 15 00:29 ubnpathl.txt rw-r-r- 1 felix felix 0 Jul 15 00:29 ubnfilel.txt rw-r-r- 1 felix felix 156 Jul 15 00:29 syslinux.cfg Will now try exit, list usb files, umount usb, and then closing ls -l -R /media/KINGSTON Second try, selected exit and then closed down The corrent files being sent to the usb by the program ( unetbootin-linux-575 ) but then not being written to the usb before closing down. This looks to me to be some sort of buffer problem, at least that's my guess. To my amazement this time the result was different, there are even less files put onto the usb. A fresh the iso image was downloaded by the program in each case. On attempting to boot there is a countdown timer that starts at 10, when it reaches 0 it just starts at 10 again rwxr-xr-x 1 felix felix 1934624 urDrive.exe rwxr-xr-x 1 felix felix 361248 unInstaller.exeĭrwx- 4 felix felix 4096 May 5 10:20 urDrive rw-r-r- 1 felix felix 0 Jul 14 12:13 ubnpathl.txt rw-r-r- 1 felix felix 0 Jul 14 12:13 ubnfilel.txt rw-r-r- 1 felix felix 156 Jul 14 12:13 syslinux.cfg I know my bios is caplable of booting USB's.Ĭreate usb: ubuntu 10.04 live, capacity is 4GB I went through the USB creation process but am now unable to boot from the usb. This means that the program became executable, so just type. Now, checking again the file with ls -l should give the following result: -rwxr-xr-x 1 name name 4478124 lug 11 15:28 unetbootin-linux-585 (don't forget to use Tab to autocomplete the long unetbootin name :P). How you do it? Simply typing: chmod +x unetbootin-linux-585 Which means you have to add execution permissions on it. You should see something like -rw-r-r- 1 name name 4478124 lug 11 15:28 unetbootin-linux-585 To make sure the file is really here, and to check permissions. When you have the terminal shell, don't forget to run ls -l ![]() To make the file executable via terminal (and we are here supposing you downloaded that file using a browser like Firefox or Opera), you only have to go to the folder where the file resides, right-click on the folder and select "Open terminal here". If you don't want to use terminal, you can right-click the file unetbootin-linux-585, select "properties", go to "permissions" and then tick "allow execution of the file as a program" (or something like that, i don't have an english-language o.s.).Īs suggested in the comment below, here's a little how-to about making a file executable: ![]() I had the same problem and that comment gave me the solution, without the need to add the ppa. As commented in your question by Web-E, you should just add the executable permission to the file downloaded from SourceForge, then you are able to run it (no installation needed, btw).
