Cannot copy installation image to USB

[Zbigniew Łukasiak]

I tried two usb sticks with 16GB and 64GB and on both I was getting this:

user@personal:~/Downloads$ sudo dd if=Qubes-R4.0-rc5-x86_64.iso
of=/dev/xdvi && sync
dd: writing to ‘/dev/xdvi’: No space left on device
2891865+0 records in
2891864+0 records out
1480634368 bytes (1.5 GB) copied, 13.1412 s, 113 MB/s

That was on a debian VM.

I solved that problem for me by using my ubuntu machine - but
reporting just in case.

"xdvi" is likely a typo and the cause of your problem- "xvdi" is more
typical.

Unless you typed that out by hand,there there was a typo in your
command- the USB stick would be at /dev/xvdi - you used /dev/xdvi which
created a file, and filled /dev.
