How do you create another Xubuntu live USB from a live USB? [duplicate]

  • 772

I'm using Xubuntu 20.04 LTS live USB (non-persistent) and from it I want to create another Xubuntu 20.04 LTS live USB on another USB.

So far I've tried Mkusb and UNetbootin and both are not booting. Mkusb just boots into the system OS and UNetbootin shows that initial blue screen with "default" as the first option and the countdown, but loops there, counting down to 1 and going back to 10. This is the screen I see. Notice there should be more options.

I've tried both methods several times with same results.

Any pointers?

EDIT (UPDATE): Turned out the .iso file was corrupt. Redownloaded another one and it worked out. Thanks all.

boot live-usb xubuntu

  1. So, what did you do exactly? Did you:

    • Boot from the USB live Xubuntu
    • Re-Download the *.ISO file
    • apt install some USB disk creator
    • run it
    • point it to the ISO and your secone USB stick
    • Let it do its work and then reboot using the new stick only ? If yes, then I son't know :) Then, you should maybe just copy the original stick or use the original OS which created your first stick to create the second one.

    If no, please do :)

    Hope I could help. I'm open for other questions though.

  2. It is possible. I'll suggest you to use Ventoy. Awesome program to create live USB inside Linux. Thank You
