Hi again Chris, When I read your message above I had to test the amd64 system. I installed Lubuntu Wily beta 2 into an SSD (an installed system). A. the Startup Disk Creator 1. From that system I used the SDC to install from a file that I tested some time ago ubuntu-wily-alternate-amd64.iso (standard Ubuntu) into a pendrive, and the pendrive works. It is not affected by this bug. That iso file is dated August 5. 2. After that I downloaded the beta 2 version of ubuntu-wily-alternate-amd64.iso and used the SDC to install it into a pendrive. It is affected by this bug. So this bug seems to have appeared after August 5. B. Cloning 1. I tried mkusb, to make a live-only system (cloning), so at least in principle it is doing the same thing as gnome-disks alias 'Disks'. mkusb works, can create a working pendrive also from a Wily beta 2 amd64 iso file. 2. Finally I tried gnome-disks. The terminology is a little funny. You should 'restore', as if you had created the iso file by making an image of the pendrive. Anyway, cloning with gnome-disks works for me also in this case. *. You wrote .img file. What file is that? Do you mean an iso file, or is it some special kind of image file, maybe an image for another computer architecture?
