I have the same problem with the final release of Lucid. USB flash drive
was written using the creator under Karmic (w/o formating the disk). The
disk is formated FAT32 (by disk vendor) and worked without any problem
under Ubuntu.
I was able to successfully run "sudo gparted /dev/sda" so it seems to
have the problem with the USB flash drive. When it's supposed to show
all drives (started w/o parameter) it crashes.
This is also a problem for the ubiquity installer as it just stops
before showing page 4. It is not displaying an error message.
IMHO it is a fault of libparted to handle this as assertion error.
Drives with properties it does not understand should be ignored/whatever
but terminating like this disables the program completely.
what others do:
- fdisk -l is able to show information for the disk. fdisk's verify does not
report a problem.
- cfdisk /dev/sdb reports an error about a broken partition table ("partition
ends in the final partial cylinder"), program can only be exit.
