Hello,
I am trying to create a bootable USB thumb drive. I downloaded the liveKDE64bit iso and followed the procedure outlined in the SDB. I did:
Created 2 primary partitions on the drive, sdb1 - 10 Gb and sdb2 - 4 Gb, both ext4.
as root ran dd if=/mnt/iso/openSUSE-13.1-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M
Where on the SDB tells you to do that? :-OO Please post a link.
It will not work.
The official instructions are here:
https://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick
And for the CLI, it is section 2. You DO NOT create any partition on the USB stick. You simply run:
dd if=/path/to/downloaded.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M
Where 'X' in your case is 'b', never 'b1'.
And that's all.
And I do that, with a 2G stick, and all is well up to a point. This is KDE Live: openSUSE-13.2-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso I get the menu. This time of year it has snow and penguins. But if I select the "live" option or the media check option as soon as the kernel executes it panics. Regular 13.1 off the hard disk and off a 13.2 install USB the kernel works. When I wake up tomorrow after breakfast and shower I'll try burning the Live-KDE onto a CD and try that. unless anyone has any suggestions? -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
