[Bug 1165200] Re: usb-creator-gtk fails to run on lubuntu13.04 beta 2

[Jonathan Marsden]

Looks to me like Yuri's suggested fix works because usb-creator-gtk does

  from gi.repository import GUdev

so it needs GUdev to be installed and visible to Python, and (by
default) it is not.

Without spending time verifying this, I'd say the "fix" is probably just
to make sure that the usb-creator-gtk package Recommends: the other
packages it needs, including python-gudev and gir1.2-gudev-1.0 .

That should be a one line edit to debian/control in the source package.
I might even have a go in an Lubuntu Raring VM later.

Those saying that installing these two packages does not fix it for
them, please provide full details of the commands you ran to install
them, and what happens when you then try to use usb-creator-gtk -- what
error messages do you see, at what stage of using it?
