I recently switched to Bodhi Linux, and I want to switch back to Ubuntu. UNebootin doesn't work with Bodhi, and there aren't any other programs that let me create a live usb. Bodhi is the only os I have on my computer. Is there any way to switch back, or am I trapped forever?

You said unetbootin doesn't work with Bodhi.Can you elaborate on that please ? You couldn't install it from repositories ? Have you tried downloading and installing manually from sourceforge – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Mar 15 '15 at 07:31

- First download a Ubuntu image (14.04 i386 or your preferred version/architecture)
- Then open the Bodhi terminal and type
sudo fdisk -l - From this output find your pendrive (by size) and keep in mind its location (i.e.
/dev/sdb) - Then run this command:
sudo dd if="/PATH/TO/MY/DISK/IMAGE.ISO" of="/dev/sdX" bs=8M - It will not display nothing until finishes.
When finished, restart computer and boot
Warnings:
- NEVER put
/dev/sdaon theddoutput, it will overwrite your computer's HDD. - Always put the device without the partition number (i.e.
/dev/sdband not/dev/sdb1)
- NEVER put
