Hi, I am testing Lubuntu Desktop i386 Saucy daily 2013061 and there are new problems with the usb-creator-gtk and the gui shutdown.
See these details Best regards Nio --- I ran one test in VirtualBox and one test in a desktop with this mobo http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2NVM_DVI/ and an AMD 4400+ dual coreCPU and 2 GB RAM. I found these bugs: 458334, 940919, 966480, 1029212, 1190170 Short comment: Bug 1165200 in usb-creator-gtk is fixed here in saucy (seems to work at least in this 32-bit version), this time it terminates with segfault, but creates a good persistent USB drive anyway. The dbus bug 458334 seems hardy, I think it has survived from karmic into saucy. Bug 1190170 'no gui shutdown in lubuntu' has 'moved'. I get one step further (to the menu with shutdown, reboot, ..., logout,...,) but then nothing happens. CLI shutdown works. Bug 966480 is still there, no prompt in plymouth graphics mode, but it it shown in plymouth text mode, as when the (default) splash boot option is removed. The bugs 940919, 966480, 1029212 have survived from Raring. --- Long comment about usb-creator-gtk: I try from a saucy dd-cloned USB drive with a live 32-bit lubuntu saucy to run usb-creator-gtk, to make a USB HDD with three partitions persistent live: the first one FAT32 for a persistent live system, and the next two partitions for an installed system. This is probably somewhat harder than a clean drive (newly edited by gparted to have an msdos partition table and one single empty FAT32 partition). But usb-creator-gtk has a button to erase the device, and if does not work, it should be fixed or the button removed. Bug 1165200 in usb-creator-gtk is fixed here in saucy (seems to work at least in this 32-bit version). This time it terminates with *segfault but creates a good persistent USB drive anyway* gtk. --- Disk /dev/sdg: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00060779 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdg1 * 2048 8388607 4193280 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sdg2 8388608 12388351 1999872 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdg3 12388352 43638783 15625216 83 Linux lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /cow 967376 38164 929212 4% / udev 958412 4 958408 1% /dev tmpfs 193476 896 192580 1% /run /dev/sdf 702464 702464 0 100% /cdrom /dev/loop0 644480 644480 0 100% /rofs none 4 0 4 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 967376 4 967372 1% /tmp none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock none 967376 0 967376 0% /run/shm none 102400 8 102392 1% /run/user /dev/sda2 206666964 41432652 154736240 22% /media/lubuntu/multimed-2 /dev/sdg3 15248784 38128 14429396 1% /media/lubuntu/saucy-installed /dev/loop1 702464 702464 0 100% /tmp/tmp73xte_ /dev/sdg1 4185088 4152800 32288 100% /media/lubuntu/SAUCY-LIVE lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ --- I failed to wipe the first partition on the target drive using usb-creator-gtk. I got 'the dbus error'. This dbus error is new to me, but I have read about it, for example in the wiki page. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick It seems to be bug 458334, that has survived from karmic to saucy, so it is a really hardy bug ;-) usb-creator-gtk is not able to wipe the first partition of my USB drive. Instead I could wipe this first partition using rm. sudo rm -r /media/lubuntu/SAUCY-LIVE/* And then, when I ran usb-creator-gtk I got the segfault again (after several successful attempts with recent (but earlier) daily builds). Maybe because I tried and failed removing all old files from the first partition, but I think I have succeeded with that a few times. --- lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo rm -r /media/lubuntu/SAUCY-LIVE/* lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ usb-creator-gtk /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GLib.py:53: PyGIDeprecationWarning: threads_init longer needs to be called.
