Public bug reported: In the AMD64 docs, [4.3. Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting](https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation- guide/amd64/ch04s03.html) prominently lists this command as a way of writing the image to a USB stick: "# cp debian.iso /dev/sdX". The result was something that my Dell Inspiron 7577 did not recognize as a UEFI boot device.
I fell back to creating the USB installer on Windows, using the advice in https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows I don't know what a successful technique for creating a USB installer using Linux is, but I do know that the "cp" method given in this documentation page is not it. ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879063 Title: Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting should not mention "cp" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1879063/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
