This is clearly an authorization problem. In order to debug I started the program first with:
Running from the Ubuntu System menu. What happens is I get 3 policy windows. 1 for starting the app 1 for mounting the usb disk 1 for writing the bootloader then it fails. so I tried from the comand line using: usb-creator-gtk -s This resulted in a pop up box saying installation of the bootloader failed, after this popup box a policy (see screenshot) window popped up asking for my password after the fact. By then it was too late, the installer had stopped. then I tried with: gksu usb-creator-gtk -s This command made a successful disk. So the issue I suspect is that the program is asking for authorization to late in the process. ** Attachment added: "Bootloader failed message before you get a chance to type in your password" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/777957/+attachment/2138411/+files/BootloaderFailed.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777957 Title: Uncaught Exception raised - No such File or Directory -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
