good day dear friends

just dl a new release - in order to create a stick with a ISO file

EndeavourOS_Endeavour_neo-2024.09.22.iso

is this the newest one - !?

look forward to hear from you

update: btw: to create the stick i can use this

sudo fdisk -l # (usb-CHECK at the start of the process. )
umount /dev/sdb1* # (first of all - i ll have the  USB-Stick unmoute, in order to start afterwards)
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 # now we formate the  Stick .. and then we go to the   dd - command ...
sudo dd bs=4M if=~/Downloads/_mein_linux.iso of=/dev/xyz status=progress oflag=sync

look forward to hear if this is correct!?

@otrott

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

This step is unnecessary. DD will OVERWRITE what ever is on this device.

thank you dear thefrog
thank you for steppin up the plate.

I will use the other commands

greetings

hello dear @thefrog

my ISO file is named eos1.iso and is located in the /Videos/ directory, the command to write it to my USB stick would be:

sudo dd bs=4M if=/Videos/eos1.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync

so this is not working:

ubuntu@T420s:~$ sudo dd bs=4M if=/Videos/eos1.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync

dd: could not open this ‘/Videos/eos1.iso’

the file and the directory could not be found on your notebook
ubuntu@T420s:~$

@otrott

sudo dd bs=4M if=/Videos/eos1.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync

try
sudo dd bs=4M if=/Videos/eos1.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress && sync

[otrott]

@thefrog

sudo dd bs=4M if=/Videos/eos1.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress && sync

many thanks - i have adjusted the path

well i guess that this will work now… i think that the process seems to run well

see - especially the last line… what do you say?!

i think that this is working - see the last line especially - where we can see the progess.

so the corrected ( path with the added " ~" - did the trick…

look forward to hear from you

see this:

btw: which command is the best and most effective to check the result

a lsblk

b. fdisk -l

sdb                         8:16   1   7,5G  0 disk 
├─sdb1                      8:17   1   2,6G  0 part 
└─sdb2                      8:18   1   162M  0 part 
sr0                        11:0    1  1024M  0 rom

Looks like its working

[otrott]

g day

@thefrog

sudo dd bs=4M if=/Videos/eos1.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress && sync

this works

sudo dd bs=4M if=~/Videos/eos2.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress && sync

and this works not

sudo dd bs=4M if=/Videos/eos2.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress && sync

funny… but happy that i now have a “workin model”

[thefrog]

yeah I didn’t change anything in your original command except

@otrott

oflag=sync

to

@otrott

&& sync

the rest of it was what you had originally typed. Glad its working for you.

Happy Endeavor’s

Seems like no one answered you about the newest version. No it’s not. But I don’t think that matters because when you update it should be the newest.
