Hi, These tests really do make me think it is the issue with how isolinux has changed. I had issues using isolinux in a chroot on 14.10 because in 14.10 files are missing. The entire structure is different. So probably the USB creator programs are having problems because they also cannot figure out isolinux. This seems to me the real problem. The unetbootin devs probably figured this out, and fixed it in their program. Nio, if you are on 14.04 do you have 'proposed' enabled? There might be something in the pipeline to fix this issue. -- Regards -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
