usb-creator-gtk is buggy, but this way I succeed to make persistent drives with it in Lubuntu Saucy: Let it wipe whatever is on the USB pendrive and then create a partition and file system: Click on 'Erase disk'! Alternatives are kubuntu's version usb-creator-kde or unetbootin (as well as resorting to the version 12.04 LTS). Let us know how it works :-) Best regards Nio -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa Post to : lubuntu-qa@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
