Hi. I am attempting to install Unetbootin (under Ubuntu 20.04 beta) but it fails. See below. I have installed the ppa, etc.

Same problem here with 20.04. Can't install unetbootin

[sudodus]

I just tested in a fresh Xubuntu 20.04 LTS persistent live drive (fully up to date). And it does not work to install Unetbootin. So I can only suggest that you try another tool for the same purpose. The following tools work for me

- In Ubuntu: mkusb (It works in all flavours of Ubuntu)
- In Windows: Rufus

Edit: mkusb works in Groovy too.

@ sudodus @ COOKIECRUNCHER, I was having similar errors except mkusb, unetbootin, startup disk creator did not work for me either the only thing that did was Rufus with Xubuntu 16 LTS for UEFI installs. (unetbootin worked but couldnt find initrd and vmlinuz didnt want to dig into that atm)
I found Threads being there is some Write boot error with older ubuntu Version for UEFI along my travels Seems to be the cause of the issue Yet i still have this error with all UEFI install up to Ubuntu 20 again rufus is only that i can get to work.

If you are willing to help me with testing, we can debug the problem with mkusb. In that case I will start by asking you about details in your particular case. Just let me know,

- yes (I want to debug the problem with mkusb) or
- no (I am happy with the solution using Windows and Rufus).

@ sudodus, The boot device installs by default to EXT4(thru Startup Disk creator by default i tried to Format usb stick to FAT32 then install Via Startup disk Creator defaulted back to EXT4, Rufus allow the Option to Change Format Type Fat32, EXT4 etc.) I didnt spend much time with mkusb as i am lazy and i want auto install with easy click option lol...,if mkusb has this option since you and others seem to be able to install i have seen maybe i missed option to change boot format mode, surprisingly Unetbootin went to fat32 but was missing things as posted. Maybe this option change can help set user @COOKIECRUNCHER with mkusb i drno Funny thing is i ran into this exact same error with unetbootin when trying to install but forget how i worked around it to install to the usb boot stick if i remeber will post but unetbootin is just too much trouble my utter computer laziness so i cheated and used rufus
Umm maybe it was sudo apt-get -f install if your missing dependencies

@chilewskirbuu,

I read this as "no (I am happy with the solution using Windows and Rufus)."
