This is in support of an attempt to create a bootable USB thumb drive, to re-install UBUNTU 22.40 after a hard drive crash. V 22.10 is from a mag subscription DVD, but some issue with the install stops it from doing ANY updates (likely sources.list), but I’m rapidly getting in over my head fixing this.

tried sudo dd if=xxxx of=xxxx method. USB was created, apparently successfully, but product is unusable, so here I am.

I’m looking for a path to resolving the dependency issue, at the moment.

I’ve got a similar problem on elementary os. Both GDEPI cannot seem to handle the .deb file (simply quits while installing) and the command tells me balena-etcher_1.19.25_amd64.deb is an unsupported file no matter whether trying to install from a local copy or remotely.
This doesn’t solve the problem but I’d also happy for some info on dependencies.
