Kali live usb issue: at the end of my rope.
 

OK so evidently you cannot use unetbootin to make a live USB for Kali. I have been running sudo dd which appeared to work. Now I'm getting a "missing isolinux.bin" error when I try to use the live USB.

I have never had the problems trying to get a simple live USB to work as I have this piece of trash. Probably because I could use unetbootin on it and it just worked. I formatted the USB to be compatible with everything: should I use ext2 ore something?

The USB is 16 gigs in case that matters.

Anyone have a clue about this? I am using ubutnu 12.4 LTS updated today.

TIA

Did you use the instructions at the Kali Linux page?

Did you mount the flash in Ubuntu and check to see if there is an isolinux.bin file?

Yes. Except I saw the location of the USB during formatting and it was sbd1 or whatever. Otherwise I followed it exactly.

No I didn't check I assumed there wasn't.

I checked it was there. I formatted and done everything over to similar result.

Did you do: Obviously with the actual name of the iso and using /dev/sdb rather than /dev/sdb1. It may not be sdb, that's just an example. It should be the drive without partition number, AFAIK. Maybe you did it that way?
