mkusb version 12.6.7, 12.6.8, 12.6.9
- mkusb 12.6.7
. guidus: skip parameter if %f is '%f' (for hippo hirsute)
- mkusb 12.6.8
. dus-live: mkcmd_runcmd: ... wait for the buffered data to get flushed ...
- mkusb 12.6.9
. dus-persistent:
.. grub_n_iso & probe_source: identifying 20.04.2 & 21.04
.. probe_source: usb-pack_efi auto-set for 21.04 & 20.04.2 |
Improvement in version 12.6.7
- guidus.desktop, when initiated from the menu in pcmanfm-qt, did not start correctly, complained:
%f is neither an iso file nor an img.{gz,xz} file
fixed by editing the shellscript guidus: if statement to skip parameter if %f is '%f' makes it work also in hippo hirsute
Improvement in version 12.6.8
- Better information about flushing the buffers:
"Please wait for sync until 'Done' is written.
If there is a progress window,
wait for the buffered data to get flushed
so that all data are transferred to the target device."
Improvement in version 12.6.9
Modified structure of the iso files of 20.04.2 & 21.04 makes it necessary to add a new way to identify these versions of Ubuntu. At the same time using usb-pack_efi is selected automatically for these new versions.
Unstable: You get/update this new version of mkusb from the unstable PPA via the following commands
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository universe # this line only for standard Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/unstable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb # to install
# sudo apt full-upgrade # upgrade to current version (with all other upgrades), only for installed systems
sudo apt install mkusb guidus dus mkusb-common # to upgrade all mkusb basic components including dus
sudo apt install usb-pack-efi # for persistent live drives that work in UEFI and BIOS mode with 32-bit iso files
You get only the version dus (alone or with guidus) via one of the following commands (if you don't care about mkusb-11, mkusb-nox, mkusb-bas)
Code:
sudo apt install dus
sudo apt install guidus
You get only the version mkusb-plug via [the update command and] the following command,
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb-plug
Alternative way to get mkusb: There are tarballs at
- help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/gui/tarball with only dus and guidus (mkusb version 12),
- help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/plug with only mkusb-plug.
Stable: mkusb version 12.6.8 is in the stable PPA. The policy is to test mkusb for a long time and in several environments before it is uploaded to the stable PPA (unless there are minor tweaks or bug-fixes).
You get/update this version via the following commands
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository universe # this line only for standard Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb # to install
# sudo apt full-upgrade # upgrade to current version (with all other upgrades), only for installed systems
sudo apt install usb-pack-efi # for persistent live drives that work in UEFI and BIOS mode with 32-bit iso files
You get only the version dus (alone or with guidus) via one of the following commands (if you don't care about mkusb-11, mkusb-nox, mkusb-bas)
Code:
sudo apt install dus
sudo apt install guidus
You get only the version mkusb-plug via [the update command and] the following command,
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb-plug
Usually there is drive space enough to install all the following mkusb packages explicitly:
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb guidus mkusb-plug usb-pack-efi
Please notice that if you have already installed mkusb-plug or dus/guidus from a tarball, you had better remove that version when you install via PPA. The advantage with the PPA version is that it gets updated/upgraded automatically along with other program packages that are installed from the Ubuntu repositories.
