Can't install usb-creator nor gddrescue

[Ralph L]

I am running Xubuntu 17.04 and am trying to create a bootable USB thumb drive for Xubuntu 18.04. I got it downloaded. I tried to install usb-creator (to create the bootable thumb drive) into xubuntu 17.04 using Synaptic, but it wouldn't install. I got
W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/udisks2/gir1.2-udisks-2.0_2.1.8-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.26 80]. Can anybody tell me how to get this installed????

*buntu 17.04 has reached end of life since Jan, there is no more supported and all the packages have been removed from server. Don't know about xubuntu but isn't start up disk creator already installed?

Just use dd to write to USB.

sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress && sync
Use the path to your ISO and replace /dev/sdX with your USB drive. (***double check you are using right drive ***)

To show USB drive....

sudo fdisk -l

Thanks to you guys for responding. I really appreciate it!!!

Guber2: Your solution worked perfectly. I got the thumb drive loaded, it booted up and I installed xubuntu 18.04.

Thanks again
