How to install wintousb on Chaletos 16

If it is not a proxy then I'm puzzled. I'm sorry to say your errors dont make sense to me. I thin i may ask my friend since he knows more than me

Wish you the best

I do not think so, when I installed the Chaletos 14.4 every thing installed
perfect with no errors.

Maybe it's the usb stick I'm using. And how I'm formatting it and installing
it. I will burn a DVD and try that to see if I get any errors.

Because I never had that many errors from synaptic. Yes the one about
chrome/winusb/ubuntu tweak but now I do not get that from UT.

So I will be back LOL

OK now I have it installed by DVD and I have ubuntu tweak installed and chrome, and now all
the errors I get are:

I'm going to try ubuntu mini with xubuntu and install winusb to see what happens.

Well it's not Chaletos 16.4 for sure.
All 16.4 comes up with the same errors.
I guess I will have to use w7 to install
Ws to usb.

Hate w's.
But I think I can life with that.

you dual booting?

Yes I always do cause I need w's to work on cell phones that
require me to do some work on them.

that can be nice. Just curious: where do you put your data, w's, or l'x?

Not sure what you mean but I install w's then linux.
So I boot from linux grub.

I was wondering which partition your data (pictures documents etc) is on. windows, linux, or both?

They are separate. The only thing they share is the linux grub.

oh ok So i am gathering that when you upload photos/make documents you are using both. Good setup because that makes reinstalling easier without as much partition-messing

They have their own partition. When I'm in linux all stuff stays in there I can transfer from linux to w's.
So when I reinstall the other partition is left alone if that is
what you mean?

oh, i thought you meant different drives, sorry. I get what you were meaning now

Yes same drive. I use to do that, till I needed my extra one.
But they were both still on linux grub.

I have linux 17.3 xfce installed now and that is built on debian.
Have every thing I need. But I still like Chaletos :-)

Well I'm using 2 hhds.
1. for all i need is on chaletos 14.4
2. is chaletos 16.4

And I'm still getting these errors

I would guess this is the problem

Code:

Err:13 http://ppa.launchpad.net/colingille/freshlight/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
404 Not Found

It looks like the package maintainer doesn't have the correct  "Packages" file in the ppa for amd64, but I can't figure out how it works for ChaletOs 14 (unless that is 32bit?) I've only recently started using it so I have the current one installed.
I thought I would also mention that a lot of iso's nowadays are hybrid so can be installed to usb by simply typing

Code:

sudo cp /path/to/iso/filename.iso /dev/sd?; sync

replacing sd? with your usb id. I know it doesn't always work as sometimes some iso's do not contain boot stuff, but I usually try that first and it worked for ChaletOs iso.

EDIT:
I just had a quick look on launchpad and I can't see any packages for "xenial" so I figure that is the issue.

actually This is how I burn iso's:

Code:

sudo bash
dd if=filename.iso of=/dev/sdx

replace /dev/sdx with device name.

I'd forgotten about this post and I'm sorry, I would have mentioned it earlier. This way writes image in dd mode which is more compatible than the iso mode that unetbootin does. Works very well and never goofs.

The problem is that dd is far more destructive than the cp way of doing thing (if something goes wrong) but both usually work ok.
And to say dd never goofs is perhaps a little naive, for instance if there are block errors on your usb device, dd might goof with unpredictable results, but I'm nit-picking really, they will both do the job

I meant it never goofs for me

And if dd ever goofed up real bad I could always rewrite partition table or, if worse came to worse, DBAN the disk (but I dont know how to do that yet cuz I never had to).

that's my point, cp is safer (IMO)

Please explain the how to's on the cp

It just basically copies the iso to the chosen device, but as usual it will wipe the current contents of the device.

This is what I get:
sudo cp home/cevin/Downloads/dev/sdc1/en_windows_7_home_premium_with_sp1_x64_dvd_620851.iso/filename.iso /dev/sd?; sync
cp: target ‘/dev/sdc’ is not a directory

How about this:

sudo cp /home/cevin/Downloads/en_windows_7_home_premium_with_sp1_x64_dvd_620851.iso to /dev/sdc
