waste of time – kubuntu 20.04
(package referred to existed in v18, can’t be be installed because it has its own dependency issues)

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

woeusb : Depends: libwxgtk3.0-0v5 (>= 3.0.4+dfsg) which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Keep the following packages at their current version:

1) woeusb [Not Installed]

I followed below steps to make woe usb write windows 10 iso to bootable USB. My laptop runs on Ubuntu 18.04.

1) Download .deb package from github

2) sudo dpkg -i woeusb-build-deps_3.3.1_all.deb

The above command gave below error
Selecting previously unselected package woeusb-build-deps.
(Reading database … 337994 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack woeusb-build-deps_3.3.1_all.deb …
Unpacking woeusb-build-deps (3.3.1) …
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of woeusb-build-deps:
woeusb-build-deps depends on debhelper (>= 9); however:
Package debhelper is not installed.
woeusb-build-deps depends on dh-autoreconf; however:
Package dh-autoreconf is not installed.
woeusb-build-deps depends on libwxgtk2.8-dev | libwxgtk3.0-dev; however:
Package libwxgtk2.8-dev is not installed.
Package libwxgtk3.0-dev is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package woeusb-build-deps (–install):
dependency problems – leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
woeusb-build-deps

3) Now its required to install dependencies as follows.
sudo apt –fix-broken install

4) Woe USB will be installed automatically with command in point 3 above. If its not installed then,
sudo dpkg -i woeusb-build-deps_3.3.1_all.deb

5) Open gparted from Ubuntu apps. Find your USB device and unmount it. This step is must to do.

6) Open terminal and simply type woeusbgui

7) Choose your windows iso image and start writing !

And…??? You told us how to download it (although had dependency errors with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS where I had to use other sources) but you just ended it at that even though your title says ” … Create Bootable Windows USB Sticks from Linux”. We’re halfway there so no, this isn’t an article to tell someone how to “… Create Bootable Windows USB Sticks from Linux”.
