Unetbootin to the rescue
Quick tip: if you, like me, downloaded the Fedora 18 Beta, trying to install it with an USB stick and the Xfce spin and if you get the same error message:
No DEFAULT or UI configuration found!
Then the solution is not to use the liveusb-creator tool, but go instead for Unetbootin. For me, it did the job.

If "like me" means that... we are running Fedora 14... no, there aren't many people like you... since that was EOL'ed some time back. I'm guessing that liveusb-creator has been updated since then but I'm not sure. I know pretty much everything else has. I use livecd-iso-to-disk. If however, you are not doing it from Fedora 14, I apologize for my snarky attitude. :)
ReplyDeleteit was Fedora 17, which I installed on a netbook. live-usb creator was the latest version, yummed yesterday evening. so i did my homework properly :p
DeleteSame thing goes for ubuntu when their "usb-startup disk" doesn't work. Generally I use unetbootin directly as I know it works.
ReplyDeleteusually in Fedora it was the other way: Unetbootin creating unexpected behaviour and problems, while the own tool working flawlessly. googling the error message i found tons of Unetbbotin Ubuntu solutions, tried it and was successful.
DeleteOh please no! unetbootin rarely tracks the changes we make to the iso's. Use dd, liveusb-creator or livecd-iso-to-disk (which can, despite its name, write boot.iso and dvd's as well). It may have worked this time, but it isn't good advice.
ReplyDeletei know traditionally Unetbootin was to be recommended against (had my share of advising people to use liveusb-creator instead), that is why i was surprised and considered it blogging-worthy.
