[Bug 295212] Re: Hangs on Starting Up
Same bug here (Ubuntu 8.10 i386). But when usb-creator crashed, it left a partition mounted. I had to unmount first before using gparted. -- Hangs on Starting Up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 295212] Re: Hangs on Starting Up
Similar bug for me, I ran sudo syslinux /dev/sde1 and it complained about only working on 512 byte sectors. If syslinux doesn't like it, I suppose it won't work, but usb-creator shouldn't hang forever like this. -- Hangs on Starting Up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Success story! I used to get only to the point where: [20:20:25] Installing...

It turned out (after some printf-debugging in backend.py) that I had no 'mtools' installed. I installed mtools and that problem was gone. You can check if that is your problem by looking up the device of your USB drive's single partition (e.g. /dev/sdc1) and trying the command sudo syslinux /dev/sdc1 # if /dev/sdc1 is your USB stick's VFAT partition, better check twice If mtools are missing, syslinux will complain. -- Hangs on Starting Up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 295212] Re: Hangs on Starting Up
This is what i did. My usb disk was in vfat (1Gb). I formated it in ext3 (you will lose all data in the usb drive): - umount /media/disk - sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb (Caution: Careful while entering device/partition name; wrong name can wipe out entire hard disk!!!) and now when i start usb-creator it tell me to format the disk (yes, again)... and it works. So...it does not works with one usb disk formated in vfat? -- Hangs on Starting Up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 295212] Re: Hangs on Starting Up
I had a single 1GB FAT16 partition (created by Windows XP) on my drive (1GB total), and used gparted to remove the old partition and create a new FAT16 partition. This also resolved my issue.

[Bug 295212] Re: Hangs on Starting Up
Done some debugging. My 8 Gb USB stick had one large vfat partition. Somehow, usb-creator could not detect this partition, it would get stuck at the message: Persistence size: 128 MB. So I installed gparted and deleted this partition and created 2 new fat16 partition of 4 GB each. Next, usb-creator worked fine. The error seems to come from install_bootloader(self) in /usr/share/pyshared/usbcreator/backend.py because the line tmp = device.lstrip(rootdev) would return no value. -- Hangs on Starting Up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same thing here. It refuses to quit too, the quit button doesn't work.
How disappointing.
