So, I'm really excited to get my hands on my first Linux system. I did all the steps required for downloading Ubuntu, until the step with creating a bootable USB stick, wher eI have a problem.
I followed the steps in the link: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
and I arrived at step 8, where it says:
Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m
Here is what I typed in:
sudo dd if=ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64+mac.img.dmg of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m
after waiting for 3 minutes and a half (or 210.289801 seconds) of data transfer (of 1008730112 bytes) I get a window with the message:
The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer
with options to: "Initialize...", "Ignore", or "Eject"
Q: How do I solve this problem? (Bonus: Where did all the data go?)
I finally found the answer, and it seems like the only solution on the whole internet (I've suffered).
Apparently this problem has occured with tons of people, but I've only found one solution. One person took it upon himself to solve it.
