Instead of Media Writer, you could try using dd to write the iso to
the stick - something like "lsblk" to identify the device for the USB
stick and then "sudo dd if=Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-37-1.7.iso
of=/dev/sdX bs=1m" where /dev/sdX is the USB stick. I've always used
dd like this and I have never had a problem booting off of the
resulting USB stick.
Tried this yesterday evening. It failed. It did not like the "bs=1m" at the end of the command.
After looking at the man page, I guessed that you meant "1M" rather than "1m". Tried
again. The copy (dd) apparently worked (no errors or warnings), but the boot failed.
I did my weekly patches today. Then tried this (with "1M") again a few times.
I got inconsistent results:
* two failures to boot.
* once it booted ok, but attempts to launch Firefox, a terminal, and the system
monitor failed.
* twice it booted ok, but Firefox apparently locked up after a few minutes.
* once it booted ok, and the few applications I tried did work.
Results suggest that the sticks are ok, and the sockets are ok. Something else
is bad; I don't know what.
I'll look more closely at George's post tomorrow.
