Making a Qubes USB Installer USB with Fedora LiveCD

[alex...@gmail.com]

Hey, I am having an Issue putting a qubes 4.0.1-x86_64.iso image onto a Flash Drive. The laptop I am using is Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 6. I am using the method described here https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/thinkpad-troubleshooting/. Here is my output of the command:

[liveuser@localhost ~]$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --efi /run/media/liveuser/Windows/Users/Alex/Desktop/Qubes-R4.0.1-x86_64.iso /dev/sdc

I am using Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-29-1.2.iso which I downloaded off of there website and I used Fedora Media Creater to put it on the Flash Drive. Any Ideas as too why I am getting this error.

I've got exactly the same issue. Did you find a solution ?

Hi everyone,

Don’t bother yourself with fedora-live-cd,I have a new thinkpad(p52) and I did the iso with rufus and it worked.
Fedora live cd and dd didn’t work for me !

Best regards

No I never got UEFI to work.  I ended up having to revert to legacy install which worked flawlessly for me using rufus.
