[Bug 1132632] Re: usb-creator-gtk crashes every time I try to make a bootable USB stick

[Jason Robinson]

This has been affecting me on several installs through 12.10 -> 13.10 at
least. Sometimes it crashes without even asking for boot loader, usually
it crashes after asking for boot loader (which is fine, the stick works
in this case) and sometimes it doesn't crash. It doesn't matter what
kind of USB stick I use.

Adding output of ubuntu-bug usb-creator-gtk

Title:
  usb-creator-gtk crashes every time I try to make a bootable USB stick

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Sorry for filing this under the kernel, but I tried to find a place to
  file bugs for usb-creator and the project isn't apparently configured
  for bugs... and I couldn't find any other appropriate location :(

  Anyway, usb-creator-gtk appears to get all the way to the end before
  crashing.  It always crashes when writing the boot data to my USB
  drives.  This only seems to happen when trying to make USB drives for
  Precise (I'm running Quantal).

  I tried filing a bug several times via ubuntu-bug but it always just
  returned and never actually opened a launchpad page for me to file the
  bug.  Sigh...

  I am dumping usb-creator as these sorts of issues have plagued it
  since I started using it, and unetbootin always seems to work.  But I
  thought someone should know and take a look to try to sort out why it
  is crashing.  I've attached the crash file from /var/crash since I
  seem to be unable to actually file the bug via apport.
