I'm running Kubuntu 18.04 and I'm trying to use woeusb to create a boot memory stick for SuSE Leap. I've set the source to an ISO file for SuSE Leap and the target to /dev/sdb. I've unmounted /dev/sdb1, but I still get a puzzling error message:Source media is currently mounted, unmount the partition then try again. This is particularly mysterious because the source should be mounted.
How can I fix this?
I've been trying to create a bootable pen drive for the windows 10 may update on my ubuntu laptop for my PC. I'm running the 19.04 version of ubuntu. Since the windows iso needs special processes to be burned to the usb I'm required to install the woe-usb open source package.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install woeusb
But I keep receiving this error
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package woeusb
I've searched throughout Stack Exchange and ask ubuntu but I have ended up empty-handed.
I need to install WoeUSB to create a USB stick to install Windows, so I added the repository using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt update
and everything is fine until this point.
when i run sudo apt install woeusb I got this error:
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

I honestly don't know what to do, i looked online and found nothing, can you help me?
I tried to create a Windows 10 USB boot medium with WoeUSB. I formatted a USB drive with an NTFS partition, but WoeUSB complains with:
Installation failed!

I've also tried to start WoeUSB via command line, did not work.
sudo woeusb --partition Win10_1809Oct_English_x64.iso /dev/sdb
My iso is located in: home/sawyer/Downloads/Win10_1809Oct_English_x64.iso
Thanks in advance! I've been trying to get windows installed for three nights now, so any help towards that goal is greatly appreciated.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.1 version and now wants to use Windows 10 as well. I have downloaded WoeUSB to create bootable USB for Windows, but I'm getting the below error message when installing. Before this step I have formatted the USB as NTFS.
