KDE neon: alloc magic number error
by cosmon from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Z47A)
Hello fellow users,
I am trying to boot from my neon usb but I get an error along the lines of:
"error: invalid magic number Alloc magic is broken at 0x7860ada0: 78491020. Aborted. Press any key to exit"
I have verified my neon sha256sum, so I don't think it's the iso.
If it is relevant here is the command I used to create the usb (on Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia Cinnamon)
sudo dd bs=4M if=~/Downloads/neon-user-20200207-1737.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress && sync
dd was executed successfully but I still cannot boot.
Any help?
