So i Installed woeusb on garuda cause i wanted to put another iso file in it and after putting the iso file and the usb i am getting an error like this:

 Installation failed!
Error: Unable to create /media/woeusb_source_1721561655_46509 mountpoint directory

It would be nice if someone could help!

Looks like this upstream bug

What I don’t like is that this package has not been updated in one year. And there are open bugs after…
Why don’t you give Ventoy a try?
For what it’s worth, this means a reboot is pending after the latest update.

Have you installed Ventoy correctly also on the USB?
E.g.

But there are so many tutorials on the internet.
