Hello,

The USB Formatter and Stick Formatter are not working on LL 7.0.

Do you mean the Mintstick apps ?
It is mentioned in the release notes as a known issue.

The fix is

Run Install Updates from the Menu, then do:

Code:

sudo apt-get install python3-unidecode

Enter your password if required.
Let us know if you have a problem after doing this.

Edit to correct the command (originally posted "python3-unicode" which throws an error)

Thanks! I've noticed that too.
I used the usb-creator-gtk In the Menu, it is called "Startup Disk Creator". I also have balena-etcher.

thanks for the reply.
Here's what I get.....

sudo apt-get install python3-unicode
[sudo] password for :
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package python3-unicode



python3 is already the newest version (3.12.3-0ubuntu1)

My apologies, I copied directly from the release notes but there is a typo in there.
Try this command to install the required component for mintstick.

Code:

sudo apt-get install python3-unidecode

Hello,

I ran "sudo apt-get install python3-unidecode". The USB Image Writer / USB Stick Formatter are now running.
Thanks!
