Re: using dd writing iso file to usb drive

2020-05-09 Thread Kyle 
If the iso file you are writing is the only file in the directory, you 
should be able to have it filled in by pressing the tab key immediately 
after if=. So dd if= would fill in the filename, unless you do have 
more than one file, in which case, you can tab again and get the list. 
If you are typing a letter or two and the tab completion isn't working, 
my best guess is that the filename is capitalized and you're typing a 
lowercase letter, or else the filename is lowercase and you're typing a 
capital letter, in which case, Bash won't correct you. That said, 
usb-creator-gtk is probably your best option, as it allows you to choose 
exactly the file and device you want.

Hi,

Why not use usb-creator-gtk?

After dowloading the .iso file and checking the md5sum I simply do the 
following:


1. insert the memory stick.

2. in a terminal type:

usb-creator-gtk


Note: you can press Tab after typing 'usb-c'

3. press Enter.

4. follow the steps on the screen.

Success.

Milton

When writing an image file to a usb drive, first I changed to the directory 
where the file was, and then I was typing the dd command in this form.
sudo dd if=filename.iso of=/dev/sdf bs=4M conv=sync
The file name was long, so after the first few letters, I used the tab key.
But nothing happened.
Should the name have been filled in?
The name of the file was the only one in the Downloads directory.
