I'm trying to create a bootable clonezilla usb with tuxboot, the application that is recommended by clonezilla site. I installed it via Ubuntu PPA and follow the instructions on the site to put files on usb. Everything went well and then I restarted the system. Now when I'm trying to boot from usb it says: "This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again ..." What is causing this problem?

I really appreciate any help you can provide. My laptop model is Dell studio-1558 and I'm running Ubuntu 14.04

Clonezilla live USB works very well with UNetbootin (unetbootin) from the default Ubuntu repositories. Clonezilla is in UNetbootin's list of compatible distros in the UNetbootin == Select Distribution == dropdown menu. You should reformat the USB flash drive as FAT32 in GParted first if you have ever used the USB flash drive to boot a Linux distro.

UNetbootin has been dropped from the Ubuntu 18.04 repositories. When I tested the built-in Startup Disk Creator application as a UNetbootin replacement app with a Clonezilla .iso image it worked in Ubuntu 18.04. I also tested making bootable live USBs in Startup Disk Creator with 5 other ISOs that previously worked with UNetbootin including GParted and they all booted successfully.
