Re: Help Creating A Bootable USB Disk



If you want stop by at the SF-Lug Jitsi meet.  

meet.jit.si/sf-lug.org

I just ran the startup disk creator in Ubuntu 20.04 and I'm not seeing 
the stuff you describe.  Maybe it was different in 14.04  I only saw the one 
option to write the disk.  No option for making space for files and all that.  
Is it making a live usb with persistence?

Friends More Competent Than I:

     I am finally getting around to upgrading to 20.4, but I seem to be stuck on step one.  I went to Ubuntu for instructions and read the instructions and watched the video.  The first thing that one is to do is create a bootable USB stick.  I got a couple of brand new 8 GB USB sticks from Frys.  I opened Startup Disk Creator from the applications.  It detected the USB stick I had inserted and asked if I wanted to erase it.  I clicked on that.  The program did its thing and opened the USB stick in "Files" as a blank disk.  When I went back to "Make a Startup Disk," the selection of how much space to allocate to documents and settings was greyed out.  More importantly, the box for "Make Startup Disk" was greyed out.  I tried it several times with the same result.  What am I doing wrong?
