Did you try UNetbootin?

There is Unetbootin in Xubuntu? Ok I got it and will try it and then the thread will be solved.

While Unetbootin may work for Tails, there is no need for it. The Tails website has information how to do that task without Unetbootin: https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_ste.../index.en.html

I would suggest that you install the OS to the usb just as if it were any other hard drive. That way you could update it more properly. There are some advantages to the live cd to usb deal like unetbootin or universal usb installer or fedora's installer but for most longer term uses, I'd go with the normal installer. There are some tips and ticks to be sure you do that correctly where the live installers aren't so picky.

Tails is aimed at being run as unalterable live-CD/USB, for security reasons. A normal install would nullify the reasons why the developers have chosen this route. They explicitly warn about the dangers of installs of Tails on their website.
