Hi,
     I'm having problems creating a live usb for siduction-13.1.0-firestarter-rqt-amd64-201305202350.iso
     
     after creating under unetbootin I get (on booting the usb)
     
     
     ---------------------------------------------------
     Waiting for up to 30 seconds for devices to settle
     
     Failed to detect live media
     
     /bin/sh:can't access tty;job control turned off
     ---------------------------------------------------
     
     
     and under dd(dd command used dd if=siduction-13.1.0-firestarter-rqt-amd64-201305202350.iso of=/dev/sdd1 bs=4096;sync )
     ---------------------------------------------------
     isolinux.bin corrupt or missing
     ---------------------------------------------------
     
     Any ideas. I can confirm that both unetbootin and dd have sucessfully worked before (many times)
     
     Tried under archbang at kernel 3.9.4
     and crunchbang at 3.2 and 3.13-liquorix
     and various others (mageia, fedora,sabayon etc)
     
     Pretty sure that it is a basic error i.e. mine.... but seem to be stuck now (and of course the iso will not fit on a cd-w / cd-r)

So any help/pointers etc would be great.
     
     Regards...

You may need to use "cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" flag.
I ran into the same thing, so I just used dd.

Because this will never work!
Unetbootin is well known for not working with isohybrid-images.
And you can use
Code: [Select]

dd if=/foo/bar/siduction-13.1.0-firestarter-rqt-amd64-201305202350.iso of=/dev/sdd

The target has to be a device, not a partition!

Yes sorry,
               As soon as I saw your reply re devices and not partitions  I had me a Homer moment, complete with head slapping.

So, USB created, siduction installed and now to play!

Many thanks and

All the best....
