[SOLVED] How to create bootable USB Flash drive

[bubba]

I don't see anything going through the menu options. I checked synaptic and I find that there are several USB Creator applications but nothing on how to access them. What am I missing?

[bubba]

Disregard, in looking at Synaptic it appeared to me that these applications were installed, they weren't. I just installed one and will try it now.

Etcher is my go-to app for creating USB drives.

Partclone is an alternative: clone your Kubuntu partition on the PC and restore it to the USB drive. You will have to change uuid and install bootloader, which is the tricky bit, explained here: https://tinyurl.com/y83g89tk

When you try one USB burners, and it works, stay with it. If it doesn't work, or stops working, try another. There are lots of USB burners, and most work the same way.

Better yet is depending on USB drive size is you can have multiple ISOs to choose from.

Ventoy's approach is much simpler and faster than the old, "burning", method based on emulating writable CDs. As well, Ventoy is an active project, so things get fixed. For example, the daily *buntu isos for Jammy broke on Ventoy for me earlier this year, but now they work.

Sorry for late post, but it could still help someone. I always just use the command line. It helps in a situation where you only have access to the shell.
dd if=nameorpath.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress
after if (input file) is the path or file name of your iso and then after of (output file) is the device, mine is usually /dev/sdd or /dev/sde but it varies.
An example below with the path:
dd if=/home/user/Kubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdd status=progress
Obviously this is for advanced users as you could overwrite your hard drive if you are not careful and do not know the drive are writing to, so use caution.
