mkusb version 12 alias dus calls dus-persistent and its new version checks for the version of Ubuntu in the iso file and selects file name or partition label 'writable' for focal fossa (20.04 LTS) and 'casper-rw' for the previous versions.
mkusb-plug calls mkusb-tow 'TO Windows', which is developed from iso2usb/diy/windows-installer-for-big-files, mkusb-tow can manage current Windows 10 iso files with a file 'install.wim', that exceeds 4 GiB.
mkusb-tow uses zenity when available, but it can also work as a stand-alone tool in text mode (but mkusb-plug needs graphics mode and zenity).
Unstable 1: 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
Unstable 2: This new version of mkusb might also be available via this link: mkusb/gui#from_phillw.net.
Unstable 3: There are tarballs with only dus and guidus (mkusb version 12) as a last alternative.
Stable: mkusb version 12.4.4 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.
