Getting dependency error at launch of liveusb

Asked by vince1977

Hi,

After booting on the mac from the liveCD and plugging in the USB stick, I double-click on the liveUSB creator which launches the package installer...all is good so far.

But the package installer then brings up an error that reads :

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: syslinux

So I have tried apt-get to get syslinux installed but the terminal shows another error (E: Could not find syslinux package), and I then tried editing /etc/apt/sources.list to uncomment all commented out repos in there, but to no avail...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi vince1977,

I had the same problem when I was trying to install the .deb package straight away rather than downloading to the home directory in the first place and then launching the installer. When I got that dependency error message, I went to the /tmp directory, copied the liveusb installer to the desktop:

$ cp /tmp/liveusb_0.1.0_all.deb /home/ubuntu/Desktop/

then added all permissions:

$ cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop/
$ chmod 0777 liveusb_0.1.0_all.deb

and after that the problem was gone.

I hope this helps.

Chris
