Do you get the same error when running the gui version?
Control Centre > Disks > Live USB Maker (gui) (version 0.2.11)
If you prefer the cli version, please paste all the terminal output (from the sudo live-usb-maker command to the error displayed).

Do you get this error after launching the program, after clicking “Next” or at some other point in the process?

You can check if the file downloaded correctly. Open SpaceFM, navigate to the folder containing the .iso file, and hit F4 key of your keyboard. It should open a terminal with the path of that folder. Now execute:

pwd
ls -lh | grep *.iso
md5sum antiX-19.2-runit_386-full.iso

The result of the last command should be:
0cf824301c3243c5a66a1d49cbcdb0df antiX-19.2-runit_386-full.iso
If this isn’t the result, it means that you need to redownload antiX-19.2-runit_386-full.iso
If it is, then there may be a problem we will try to figure out.

you need to use / instead of space. The path should look like:
/home/gerudd/antiX-19.2-runit_386-full.iso

As you can see the md5sum is good.

Reboot the system just in case the live-USB-maker-gui-antix is still running and has “kidnaped” the /run/live-usb-maker/iso mountpoint.
Reboot and try the commands again.

Maybe next time the gui program will also work. It is possible this was a one-time thing.

Well done for persisting and finally getting the iso into your USB device.
Enjoy!
