I am trying to install a portable Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on a USB drive but when i choose manual partitioning my target USB drive is not shown although the LSBLK command shows my drive unmounted. Earlier, I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on a USB drive, but I chose then "erase everything". I tried different USB drives to no avail.
Thank you....ernesto
here is the data requested; the drive in question is the /dev/sdi Thank you!
