Copying ISO images to USB sticks with dd in a virt can certainly be done, but there are things that could have gone awry. If the reason you're using a virt is to get an isolated environment, there are any number of live Linux distros that you can boot into and then create your Qubes Boot USB. Of course, you'll still have to create a USB from an ISO to make the live Linux USB. :) Are you sure you ran sync after dd and let it finish? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
