Problem in installing unetbootin
I am running Debian Stretch gnome where I am trying to install unetbootin but getting the problem
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gezakovacs/ppa Code:
sudo apt-get update Code:
sudo apt-get install unetbootin Thanks |
You're missing the required public keys
Code:
W: GPG error: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6494C6D6997C215E Either that or Code:
apt-cache search unetbootin Quote:

Did you run:
Code:
$ apt-get update edit: Yep, I guess you did. You're doing the correct commands. But try apt-cache search as recommended by TheEzekielProject in #2. |

Second section of code. :D |
Thanks for your reply
I ran the command i.e. Code:
apt-cache search unetbootin I added the key for chrome but didn't find for mongodb results: Code:
sudo apt-get update |
adding ppas on debian systems - has nobody noticed that?
in clear words: ppas are for ubuntu. you are using debian. if you run 'apt-get upgrade' after adding these ppas, you are giving birth to a frankendebian - or a zombie - it moves, it boots, it works, it walks, but really it is dead already. also see http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=114130 remove the ppa from your sources, re-run the 'apt update'. unetbootin has a reputation for being patchy and i think there's a reason why it's not in stretch (or at least i'm supposing that is the reason why you are trying to get it from a ubuntu ppa). |
OK, I removed that. Can't I use unetbootin in Debian stretch? It there any good alternative for it?
Thanks |
depends - what do you want to achieve?
what have you searched - both in repositories and on the wild web? my recommendation: Code:
dd |
Harshit_24,
If you are trying to create a bootable USB drive then, as ondoho advises, it is a good idea to use the dd command. NB Do be aware that used incorrectly, the dd command (known as the disk destroyer) can wipe your existing system!! You have been warned. For detailed information, look at post #14 on: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-a-4175584759/ Do take care! |
Thanks for your replies. I will go for dd then.

If all you want is to be able to create bootable USBs then try mintstick. Mintstick will not only write and image, it'll also format the USB stick first. It's what I'm using in stretch.
You can get mintstick here: http://packages.linuxmint.com/list.php?release=Sonya I install it with gdebi. Then I frequently have to also install "python-gobject" to get it to work. |
