I am interested to make a clean install of Lubuntu Core with the mini.iso from a USB Stick. I am not interested to create a Live USB.
I've done my best to add from "Other" button form the Startup Disk Creator the mini.iso but doesn't appear anything like in here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
I've tried also..
sudo chmod a+r "location"/mini.iso
usb-creator-gtk -i "location"/mini.iso
And when the Startup Disk Creator opens, the mini.iso still not appears.
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
apt-cache policy lubuntu-desktop
lubuntu-desktop:
Installed: 0.55
Candidate: 0.55
Version table:
*** 0.55 0
500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I don't think that the old partition is Encrypted, when I installed Lubuntu I remember that I chose not to encrypt it... if this could be important for you. But better if you know exactly how to check it to be sure.
I've tried the dd method but still nothing happened...
I've tried like that:
cd ~/Downloads/
md5sum 'mini.iso'
a2502844750ecb6477d8fb4ff6b9aaf8 mini.iso
md5sum is ok.
cd ~/Downloads/
sudo su
dd if='mini.iso' of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4096
7936+0 records in
7936+0 records out
32505856 bytes (33 MB) copied, 0.0784529 s, 414 MB/s
I hope that sdb1 is ok, as you can see below...
It could be possible that the USB stick to be mounted? Can someone say it from this?
lsblk

Thank you.
