UNetbootin, a tool to create bootable live Linux USB drives, has been updated to version 700.After downloading Fat32 Formatter (highly recommended!) and reformatting a 64GB USB drive from exFAT to FAT32, I was able to run UNetbootin to create a bootable image from Linux Mint ISO on the USB drive.

With this release, the application finally uses Qt5 (5.12 previously it used Qt4). UNetbootin can create bootable Linux USB drives using either an ISO image you provide, or by automatically downloading a Linux distribution from a predefined list.

The tool may also be used to install the ISO do disk this hard disk install mode is the same as if you had booted from a live CD or live USB.Īmong the supported Linux distributions are Ubuntu and derivatives like Xubuntu or Kubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, openSUSE, Arch Linux, Fedora, Gentoo, and many more, as well as FreeBSD and NetBSD. The tool can also be used to create bootable USB drives with various utilities, like Parted Magic, SystemRescueCD, Backtrack, Smart Boot Manager, and more. It runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux and macOS.

After booting Mint, my persistent space is shown in 'Files' under 'Devices' as a '2.1 GB Volume'. Yet another UNetbootin feature is the ability to create bootable USB drives with persistence. I copied some files to the '2.1 GB Volume', as well as adding a couple of bookmarks to the Firefox 'Bookmarks Toolbar', and everything was still there after a power down and restart. This only works for Ubuntu - to create a persistent live USB drive, enter the amount of persistent space you want to use under 'Space used to preserve files across reboots'. UNetbootin is missing from the official repositories of some Linux distributions, like Debian and Ubuntu for some time. Maybe with the latest release which updates UNetbootin to use Qt5, the maintainers will consider it for re-inclusion. Thanks to being updated to use Qt5, UNetbootin doesn't look broken any more on recent Linux distributions, e.g. here is how UNetbootin 700 looks on my Ubuntu 20.10 desktop, compared to the previous UNetbootin version (681):īesides this, Unetbootin 700 also adds Ubuntu 20.10, Linux Mint 19.3 and 20 to the supported distributions list. If you want to create a bootable USB flash drive/hard drive only for uEFI boot.

This release also removes deprecated sudo helpers like gksu, kdesu, etc. NOTE: The boot menu created by Unetbootin is not exactly the same as the. Still, the application continues to require root to be able to create the bootable live USB. Hey Everybody, I used UNetBootin to make a LiveUSB the other day. When ran without root, the application notifies users to run it as follows: sudo QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 /path/to/unetbootin. After it crashed multiple times setting up persistence, I chose not to use persistence.

Now, I have it booted up and running, I need to know if there is a way to make it persistent from within the LiveBoot session. In case it helps, I'm using Precise 12.04.3, amd64, on a 4gb drive. I'd also like to mention here that in case you want to use UNetbootin to create a bootable USB drive of a Linux distribution, and no USB drive is displayed in the application even though you've inserted a USB drive, you can use GParted to format that USB drive to FAT32. You may need to plug it out and then plug it in again, and it will show up in UNetbootin.
