I tried all of the suggestions and nothing worked. I finally did get it ot work. The key in my case seems to be to limit the size of the partition. I I made it 1GB. I was using a 16GB stick. I did this with parted.
First I started by "dd"ing the first 1M with zeros as suggested to make sure I started with a clean slate. In my case the usb stick was /dev/sdb if /dev/sdb1 is mounted, unmount it: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1 Then in parted: "sudo parted /dev/sdb" make a msdos label and a fat16 partition. The "unit" command allows inputs in MB where 1000MB = 1GB. unit MB mklabel msdos mkpart primary fat16 0 1000 quit Then to format it: sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1 Now usb-creator should work. I did the procedure a couple of times and for some reason sometimes usb-creator still thinks it needs to format and when it did I selected /dev/sdb1 to format Sometimes it was fine without the format. After this I could start the create. If you don't do the formatting using mkfs.vfat, ie just the parted stuff, usb-creator will change the partition to 16GB (in my case), try to partition and fail. I don't know that much about vfat, but could it be that it is size limited and usb-creator is not taking that into account? -- Fails repeatably with "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458334 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
