I'm trying to boot a USB with Windows-10 and making it bootable from Linux (Ubuntu).

For this purpose, I installed Woe-USB as a snap package. The USB drive is formatted to exfat.

I get this weird error:

sudo woe-usb.woeusb --device ~/Desktop/Win10_2004_EnglishInternational_x64.iso /dev/sdb

WoeUSB v@@WOEUSB_VERSION@@

==============================

/snap/woe-usb/21/bin/woeusb: line 918: /bin/mount: Permission denied

/snap/woe-usb/21/bin/woeusb: line 899: /bin/mount: Permission denied

Mounting source filesystem...

Error: Unable to mount source filesystem                                                                                              

/snap/woe-usb/21/bin/woeusb: line 899: /bin/mount: Permission denied                                                                  

You may now safely detach the target device

Any ideas?

You got a /bin/mount: Permission denied mount_source_filesystem: Error: Unable to mount source media Error: Unable to mount source filesystem error. Connect the woe-usb:removable-media plug to the woe-usb:removable-media slot in order to enable USB devices to be mounted automatically by WoeUSB.

Search for woeusb in Ubuntu Software and click it to go to the woe-usb screen.

Click the Permissions button.

Toggle the Read/Write files on removeable storage devices slider from OFF to ON as shown in the below screenshot.

Authenticate with your user password when the Authentication Required window pops up.
