I am using Mac OS X 10.9 and am trying to create a boot usb of ubuntu-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso
. I have tried Unetbootin, but the installation halts at step 2 file 254. I have verified the md5 is correct.
I also tried:
sudo dd if=/Volumes/BETHY/ubuntu-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso of= /dev/disk1s1 bs=1m
I have used multiple thumb drives. any idea?
EDIT : managed to create a usb boot disc (i think), it does not work. is there any way to verify the usb created ?
filesystem.squashfs
file is much bigger compared to the rest and hence takes a long time to copy. If that is the file you are stuck on, wait for some time.dd
is taking too long, but does it actually? Can you invokedd
again and thenecho $?
right after?
