[Bug 1273739] Re: usb-creator-gtk does not work: "Installation Failed"

[Данило Шеган]

Similarly for me, in trusty as well.

Terminal output of running usb-creator-gtk doesn't say much either:

$ usb-creator-gtk 
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/frontend.py:38: PyGIDeprecationWarning: Since version 3.11, calling threads_init is no longer needed. See: https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject/Threading
  GObject.threads_init()
$

Commenting out the exception-swallowing try-except in gtk/frontend.py
install(), I get a better error message:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/frontend.py:38: PyGIDeprecationWarning: Since version 3.11, calling threads_init is no longer needed. See: https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject/Threading

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 33: ordinal not in range(128)

This led to identifying the problem: my .img file (actually, my entire
download folder) is in a directory containing UTF-8 characters. Simply
moving the .img file to a path containing no Unicode allowed usb-
creator-gtk to create an image from it.

Changing the locale itself didn't help, except that running in C locale
made it crash even earlier.
