i not want go windows after 6 years of sequential ubuntu o/s's seems login defect on 16.04.1 cannot overcome. cry out there has solved login problem. thanks
i hope when put on usb, don't mean iso file :)
if did, no harm done.
an iso file disk image, , put on usb, have write contents of iso on usb, not iso itself.
process
so can command prompt on mac this:
$ diskutil list
find usb drive in list. "/dev/disk2"
$ diskutil unmountdisk /dev/disk2
unmount disk.
$ sudo dd bs=4m if=ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk2 status=progress
write iso contents usb.
done :)
try booting that, , see how goes.
good luck!
notes:
bs=4m
tells dd use 4mb block sizeif=
input fileof=
destinationstatus=progress
should update little during process
