Startup disk creater not loading ISO file in 14.04

I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04, but startup disk creator tool is not loading the ISO image file. I have tried these:

1. Startup Disk Creator not recognizing selected ISO in 13.10
2. Startup disc creator not allowing any iso to be loaded

But still aren't able to solve this problem. Can you please help me in this regard? Thanks in advance.

Solution 1:

.iso file is seen by startup disk creator when opening other dialog but never gets selected (its like it does not really recognize this file extension) but this does not happen with all .iso files.

Just rename iso image to img extension

mv imagename.iso imagename.img

This has happened to be on 14.04, 16.04 and 18.04 but I assume is a glitch of the program and not ubuntu.

at least in my case I had to move img to Downloads folder otherwise "Startup disk creator" did not see it

mv imagename.img ~/Downloads/imagename.img

Then open "startup disk creator" and choose appropriate USB (img should be automatically chosen)

For more details on iso and img renaming look in How to create an .img file from .iso on Ubuntu?

Solution 2:

You can use unetbootin for making bootable usb stick. It works out of the box.

1. To install use the command sudo apt-get install unetbootin
2. open from terminal with command sudo unetbootin and give your password.
3. choose your iso image browsing the folder where you have kept it
4. choose your usb stick
5. click ok and wait until it is done.

It works pretty smooth in any platform.
