Title:
Consistently fails with "Failed to install the EFI bootloader"
Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
First off, I am running usb-creator on Debian testing/unstable, I
built the packages from bzr trunk (revision 412). Everything seems to
be working except for the install_efi() method. Unless I modify that
method to return early it always fails with the "Failed to install the
EFI bootloader" error message.
The DVD images I download from cdimage.ubuntu.com contain the path
/EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI
This is also the path on the mounted USB stick after usb-creator
finishes copying the files from the ISO.
In usbcreator/install.py the existence of this file is checked using a
lowercase path. I gather that this check is failing, so it attempts to
create the file. This then fails because the target filesystem is
FAT32.
