How to install Unetbootin for UM 22.04

Hi matetwo,

I completely understand:
UNetbootin is not found as an install possibility.

Let's find out why

This is the homepage of UNetbootin:
https://unetbootin.github.io/linux_download.html

quote:

To install UNetbootin from the Ubuntu PPA, run the commands

etc etc.

So UNetbootin is not in de regular repositories.
The embedded link on that page, links to an Ubuntu PPA, this PPA:

But there are no versions for Jammy

Workaround:
You can download the previous version by clicking this link:
https://launchpad.net/~gezakovacs/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+files/unetbootin_700-1~groovy1_amd64.deb

And then doubleclick on the downloaded packet. This should install UNetbootin.
After that, issue this command:

sudo apt install extlinux

Otherwise UNetbootin starts complaining that it needs 'extlinux'

I just installed it and I'm running UNetbookin now (while writing this).
It is at the moment writing the ISO of the previous UM version to USB-stick.
So far so good ... :slight_smile:
