In this article, we would like to show how to create bootable pendrive of Ubuntu installer under Linux.

Simple steps:

  1. prepare a pendrive with a capacity of at least 8 GB,
     
  2. download Ubuntu installer as *.iso file,
    Official Ubuntu web site: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop
    Example downloaded file name: kubuntu-24.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
     
  3. insert pendrive into any USB socket in your computer,
     
  4. find pendrive device name,
    You can use lsblk command, e.g.

    Where: sdb is the currently assigned name of the connected 8GB pendrive.
     
    Note: you can run lsblk command before and after pendrive is inserted to see what name has appeard pendrive device.
     

  5. copy *.iso file content to pendrive,
    You can use dd command, e.g.
    Where:
    • if= indicates path to downloaded *.iso file,
    • of= indicates path to pendrive device,
     
    Note: dd command execution may take few minutes.
    Warning: be sure if you choose right of= path!
     
  6. done
    Optionally you can run sync command after all to be sure if all data was written out, and take out the pendrive from the USB socket.
