I filed this under a different bug before but obviously this is due to insufficient IO error handling as well.
My ISO file was truncated (incomplete download) and the USB boot disk creator's error message was just 'Please see .usb-creator.log'. But the log does not include any useful error information. ...

It would be really good to include at least the IO error message in the log. -- IO errors in install.py, such as ENOSPC should give more detailed errors to the UI. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268685 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
