Error with fedora live USB: extract_iso must be run before install_bootloader
Hi,
I am trying to burn an iso image to my USB drive via Fedora live USB creator. It doesent work though, here is the output: Code:
opensuse.iso selected |
Any ideas? Could it be a bug in the program?
|
I doubt it is a bug.
I have used liveusbcreator enough to feel it is OK. Check the shal or md4 or the disk or boot it to a VM and run it's own disk check. Might have a bad download of the creator or the install is bad. You should edit your post instead of a second post. Makes it look like it was answered. Also check date on your creator. See this for how it gives that error. https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/l...er/000040.html |

Hello
I encountered this same problem today. I have created fedora live usb sticks with the same installation of fedora liveUSBcreator successfully before. I turned to the method of fedora liveUSBcreator after an failed attempt to follow the method described at openSUSE : # dd if=XXX.XXX of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync followed by a script to create one more partion on the usb stick. I am wondering if the openSUSE Live iso is different somehow from the fedora live iso? |
I knew I had seen that error before. I think I did get around it somehow but see the below links. I think it is easier.
I think it fails also on the put multiple ISO's on a flash and boot directly to iso image. http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-sus...drive-install/ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/search/opensuse |
Hello,
The error message comes from the creator.py file. Here is the code: Code:
if not os.path.exists(os.path.join(self.dest, 'isolinux')): Hope it helps. Laurent |
I got same error today. And after trying another iso-to-stick tool, I got a prompt from the anti-spyware software telling me that a software is trying to access raw disk areas, etc. So: I am thinking that the above error might be due to antivirus software on computer.

Trying to use distro X's live usb creation tool on an iso of distro Y is very likely to result in failure due to differences in how the systems are configured. With Fedora (and some other distros' iso files), you can use dd to create a bootable usb flash drive
Code:
dd if=<distro's iso> of=<usb sevice> bs=4M 1. If you screw up the device names appropriately, you can wipe your whole hard drive 2. No persistent storage |
