problem creating ubuntu 20.0 bootable usb disk, startup creator won't open, bootiso is frozen

  • 772

I have to install ubuntu on another machine, so I downloaded the iso from ubuntu web page and tried to follow the tutorial to create the bootable usb stick, but startup disk creator won't open in my ubuntu 18.04 machine, even though I removed and reinstalled it.

So I start searching for a cli alternative and found this tool:

curl -L https://git.io/bootiso -O
chmod +x bootiso
sudo apt install wimtools

I run it on my iso and selected the usb device and it's been like this all night: screenshot

So, I want to know if I can kill this without killing my usb stick and if you can point out to an alternative it would be great. In the meantime I will keep looking.

    Installing mkusb and dus

    Mkusb and dus can also be installed to Persistent USB exactly the same as to an Installed drive:

    sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb
sudo apt install usb-pack-efi

    Version dus and guidus seperately

    sudo apt install dus
sudo apt install guidus
