[Bug 1145231] [NEW] plugging in usb device launches usb creator

[Steve Magoun]

Public bug reported:

Starting in 13.04, USB Creator will sometimes (but not always) launch
when I plug in a USB device that is not a storage device. Examples
include a USB mouse, keyboard, and Yubikey. This is a regression; I
never observed this behavior in 12.10.

To reproduce:
1) Plug an external USB keyboard or mouse into the computer

Expected results:
USB Creator does nothing

Actual results:
About 33-50% of the time, the "Ubuntu Core Installer" dialog will pop up immediately after the device is plugged in.


This is similar to bug 1117165, which is marked 'Fix Released'. I have the fix (usb-creator 2.46.1 installed) but I still observe the symptoms. Additionally, despite having usb-creator 2.46.1 the upstart job (/etc/init/usb-creator-gtk.conf)  is still present on my system.
