Hi there. I removed the "2 seconds delay" workaround some time ago, after the latest nvidia drivers update.
Later, the problem/bug came back: however I missed to add the "2 seconds delay" trick, and it vanished some days later. I noticed that this peculiar behaviour happened when some automatic update was performed... I mean: On Sept 3rd these packages have been updated: Start-Date: 2010-09-03 09:06:18 Upgrade: libgudev-1.0-0 (151-12, 151-12.1), usb-creator-gtk (0.2.22, 0.2.22.1), udev (151-12, 151-12.1), python-aptdaemon (0.11+bzr345-0ubuntu4, 0.11+bzr345-0ubuntu4.1), aptdaemon (0.11+bzr345-0ubuntu4, 0.11+bzr345-0ubuntu4.1), wget (1.12-1.1ubuntu2, 1.12-1.1ubuntu2.1), python-aptdaemon-gtk (0.11+bzr345-0ubuntu4, 0.11+bzr345-0ubuntu4.1), libudev0 (151-12, 151-12.1), usb-creator-common (0.2.22, 0.2.22.1), mountall (2.15, 2.15.1), usb-creator (0.2.22, 0.2.22.1) End-Date: 2010-09-03 09:09:06 After this update the bug comes back.
