Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 To add the PPA and install WoeUSB, use the following commands:

WoeUSB is available in the main WebUpd8 PPA, for Ubuntu 17.04, 16.10, 16.04 or 14.04 / Linux Mint 18.x or 17.x. Install WoeUSB in Ubuntu or Linux Mint via PPA In my test, I was able to install Windows 10 64bit in VirtualBox (on an Ubuntu 17.04 host) despite this error. This bug was closed on GitHub and it looks like it doesn't affect the actual Windows USB stick in any way. When the Windows USB stick is completed, WoeUSB displayed the following message: 'Installation failed ! Exit code: 256'. You can see what's new in each new WoeUSB release (there were 13 new releases for the past 2 days) on GitHub.ĭespite the major code refactoring and numerous bug fixes, I still encountered an error using the WoeUSB GUI, which I also found in the original WinUSB. This is useful if you want to see if there are errors in the GRUB loading stage.Īlso, since the application name has changed, the executables have changed as well: 'woeusbgui' for the GUI and 'woeusb' for the command line tool.

from now on, GRUB will pause when the ENTER key is used before starting to load Windows.

The old options will still be available until WoeUSB v3.0

-install and -format installation options are deprecated in favor of -partition and -device, to be more clear what both options will do.

support Linux distributions that uses 'grub2' as prefix name, such as Fedora.

command line: check if target media is busy before continuing and bail out when the target partition is mounted.

implement checking on target filesystem in -install mode.

support customizing the -label of the newly created filesystem in -format mode.

use pkexec instead of gksudo for privilege escalation.

Since it was forked from Colin Gille's WinUSB, the application has seen a major code refactoring, bug fixes as well as some minor new features.
