Hello. I am trying to create a Windows10 image with Rufus 3.2 with Wine 7.0, on Ubuntu Mate 20.04. I can't find my usb device. aid? Thanks.

Just a regular user here. So, not sure if any of this will be helpful to you, but it's how it works on my system. Before you plug in the stick do this:

Code: Select all

ls /dev/sd*

And that should list all drives connected to the system. So now plug in your usb stick wait several seconds, then do the same command again. You should see a new entry. Something like /dev/sdb1. Then if you want to access it and use it on linux you have to create a mount point and mount it:

Code: Select all

mkdir /mnt/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1

If it's a Windows formatted drive, you may have to pass that info to the mount command, but I don't remember the correct flag. Now when you change directory to /mnt/sdb1, you should see all the contents. Now this doesn't cover formatting and initializing a brand new usb drive. We'll see where you are at. Maybe I'm taking the wrong path.
