I'm running kubuntu 15.04 and I want to make bootable usb stick from an ISO file, how can I do that? I tried this: How do I make a bootable USB stick from an ISO image? I also tried running UUI by wine (it didn't detect my usb stick)

Use dd.
sudo dd if=input.iso of=/dev/sdx
where input.iso is the input file and /dev/sdx is the USB device you're writing to. This method is fast and has never failed me. Note: that the 'x' depends on the actual device the usb mounts as.

1Actually, a few years ago I had some Ubuntu ISO which I didn't boot after I wrote it with dd to the USB device. Using some GUI programm it worked but I never found out what the problem was. So just as a hint: there might be some ISO files out there which do boot after writing them with dd to the usb device.– JepZOct 12, 2017 at 18:13
Install unetbootin
sudo apt-get install unetbootin
- plug in a USB drive
- Delete all partitions on the USB drive
- create a fat32 partition
- mount the flash drive
open up a terminal and start unetbootin
sudo unetbootin
- select disk image
- choice you iso
- select you flash drive
- then click ok
wait for that to be done and you have your self a bootable usb stick.

When booting from a Ubuntu 16.04 Server iso, it detected that it was created using unetbootin, and presented a warning during setup, to warn use of unetbootin is unreliable. Mar 23, 2017 at 23:46

You can try Unetbootin
Binaries:
The PPA repository doesn't work (for me at least), so I don't post it.
Today I've tried it (for Kubuntu 15.10), but unsuccessfully. Please post your results afterwards.

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. Nov 8, 2015 at 19:24
