This bug affects me on Ubuntu Studio 12.10, 32-bit. It seems waiting until light on USB drive stops blinking before typing password (as suggested in this thread) might be a workaround. I managed to successfully create an image once, and it could be that it was some waiting before typing the password.
Run from cli "usb-creator-gtk --allow-system-internal" it asks for system password, seems to run as root and crashes with the message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" while creating the persistence file. Run from cli "sudo usb-creator-gtk --allow-system-internal" it crashed without any error message while still copying files (before the creation of a persistence file. Run from cli "sudo usb-creator-gtk" it crashed without any error message while finishing. Will try if it created a bootable stick and report back. Testing requires patience as each run is ~ 10-15 mins or more... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/859539 Title: usb-creator-gtk fails to install bootloader: "System policy prevents installing the bootloader" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/859539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
