Yeah, I have a Ubuntu machine running LTS and the same command worked fine. It just made me a little nervous to run grml2usb on it because it's an important machine and it seems like you could wreck stuff if you gave the wrong device name to grml2usb. The flash drive is /dev/sdc and you type /dev/sdb by mistake.

But I'm not an idiot, or at least I wasn't when I ran the command, so it worked fine.

I am trying to use grml2usb to create a bootable thumb drive. I'm running debian trixie. I formated a 32Gb thumb drive with a single, primary FAT32 partition. Then I ran this command with the results shown:

# grml2usb grml-full-2024.12-amd64.iso /dev/sdb1 Executing grml2usb version 0.20.3 Fatal: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not list

I believe that error message is a python error message, not something from grml2usb.

This is a bug in grml2usb 0.20.3 that was already fixed. Please update to grml2usb v0.20.5 which is available from e.g. grml-testing as well as Debian/unstable.
