| From: Evan Leibovitch <evan@telly.org> | When creating a system for the RP I have had a 100% success rate with | the GTK-based | Startup Disk Creator | <https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/usb-creator-gtk/> under Ubuntu. That's interesting. I've avoided it since it does not treat the image as a black-box and I haven't put the effort in to understand the restrictions. It does say on that page that it is for Debian-based OSes (if I remember correctly, it failed when I tried it on Fedora; I don't think that it warned me that it had failed). | 'dd' has worked for me but I recall having to use some non-default block | settings. One article suggests "bs=1m" as an arg to dd. I think that is only for speed. The Raspberry Pi foundation recommends bs=4M. It's all superstion since it is going through the buffer cache.
