Kubuntu 26.04 Install issue / usb-stick

If @srx23 has access to the Mint system he can also just do it old school:

sudo cp /path/to/iso /dev/disk/by-id/usb-<...>

Device links in /dev/disk/by-id have a naming scheme makes it easier to identify the correct device. I just did:

sudo cp ~/Downloads/resolute-live-server-amd64.iso /dev/disk/by-id/usb-SanDisk_Ultra_4C530001200708109334-0:0

(no need to get fancy with dd or even “cloning tools” :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:)

That wrote the image directly to my USB stick from Sandisk. I hope that illustrates said naming scheme; consult this Redhat documentation item for details on the “why”.
