So, I have chromebook (Samsung 503c), and I was turn on the developer mode, and turn on usb boot, so I download a ubuntu.iso file, but I can't extract it to my usb stick.

How I can do that (extract to usb Ubuntu files)?

Lets assume that your iso is at /home/user/abc/ubuntu.iso

to move the iso to a usb drive do the following:

  1. Get a shell on your chromebook by hitting ctrl+alt+T

  2. Type shell and press enter to get a proper shell instead of crosh

  3. insert your USB thumbdrive, and type dmesg|tail to see what it is registered as (mine is sdb1)

  4. Make sure that the drive is not mounted by typing sudo umount /dev/sdb1

  5. Copy the iso to the disk by typing sudo dd bs=4M if=/home/user/abc/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb

Wait for it to finish. and now you should have a working usb disk with ubuntu iso on it, ready to boot.
