Package: unetbootin Version: 408-1 Severity: normal got an usb stick used with unetbootin befor to install ubuntu. while proceeding unetbootin prompted about already existing files and proposed to overwrite All, which i accepted.
but when trying to actually boot from the stick, i got a prompt saying "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!" seemingly related to syslinux being too old. checking the stick's contents revealed that several files were, in fact, not overwritte -- cointrary to what unetbootin led me to believe. i removed manually everything and run unetbootin again. after that it worked as expected. contents _before_ running unetbootin the first time: drwxr-xr-x 10 arne arne 4096 Jan 1 1970 ./ drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Oct 14 11:37 ../ -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 40 Oct 29 2008 autorun.inf* drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Jan 24 2009 casper/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Jan 24 2009 .disk/ drwxr-xr-x 3 arne arne 4096 Jan 24 2009 dists/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Jan 24 2009 install/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 8192 Jan 24 2009 isolinux/ -r-xr-xr-x 1 arne arne 13631 Jan 24 2009 ldlinux.sys* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 10209 Dec 10 2008 md5sum.txt* drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Jan 24 2009 pics/ drwxr-xr-x 4 arne arne 4096 Jan 24 2009 pool/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Jan 24 2009 preseed/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 223 Oct 29 2008 README.diskdefines* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 412 Jan 24 2009 syslinux.cfg* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 4391 Jan 24 2009 ubnfilel.txt* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 8127456 Dec 10 2008 ubninit* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 2202032 Dec 10 2008 ubnkern* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 933 Jan 24 2009 ubnpathl.txt* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 0 Dec 10 2008 ubuntu* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 199517 Sep 17 2008 umenu.exe* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 145800 Jan 24 2009 vesamenu.c32* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 1145132 Oct 26 2008 wubi.exe* contents _after_ running unetbootin the first time (note syslinux.cfg being 0 bytes long!): drwxr-xr-x 10 arne arne 4096 Jan 1 1970 ./ drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Oct 14 11:37 ../ -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 152 Oct 28 21:55 autorun.inf* drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:06 casper/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:05 .disk/ drwxr-xr-x 4 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:06 dists/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:06 install/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 8192 Mar 27 16:06 isolinux/ -r-xr-xr-x 1 arne arne 15086 Mar 27 16:06 ldlinux.sys* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 4050 Oct 28 21:55 md5sum.txt* drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:06 pics/ drwxr-xr-x 4 arne arne 4096 Jan 24 2009 pool/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:06 preseed/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 231 Oct 28 21:55 README.diskdefines* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 0 Mar 27 16:09 syslinux.cfg* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 3744 Mar 27 16:06 ubnfilel.txt* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 5761265 Oct 28 21:50 ubninit* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 3890400 Oct 16 20:03 ubnkern* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 440 Mar 27 16:05 ubnpathl.txt* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 0 Oct 28 21:55 ubuntu* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 199517 Sep 17 2008 umenu.exe* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 2039576 Sep 17 2009 usb-creator.exe* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 147868 Mar 27 16:09 vesamenu.c32* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 1468640 Oct 26 17:16 wubi.exe* contents after rm -rf and unetbootin again: drwxr-xr-x 10 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:24 ./ drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Oct 14 11:37 ../ -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 152 Oct 28 21:55 autorun.inf* drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:21 casper/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:20 .disk/ drwxr-xr-x 3 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:21 dists/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:21 install/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 8192 Mar 27 16:21 isolinux/ -r-xr-xr-x 1 arne arne 15086 Mar 27 16:21 ldlinux.sys* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 4050 Oct 28 21:55 md5sum.txt* drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:21 pics/ drwxr-xr-x 4 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:20 pool/ drwxr-xr-x 2 arne arne 4096 Mar 27 16:21 preseed/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 231 Oct 28 21:55 README.diskdefines* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 421 Mar 27 16:24 syslinux.cfg* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 3744 Mar 27 16:21 ubnfilel.txt* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 5761265 Oct 28 21:50 ubninit* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 3890400 Oct 16 20:03 ubnkern* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 918 Mar 27 16:20 ubnpathl.txt* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 0 Oct 28 21:55 ubuntu* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 2039576 Sep 17 2009 usb-creator.exe* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 147868 Mar 27 16:24 vesamenu.c32* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arne arne 1468640 Oct 26 17:16 wubi.exe* -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.3 (SMP w/2 CPU cores;
