As far as I can tell there are 2 bugs described in this report. On the one hand we have the people who didn't have mtools installed; that's easily solved.
On the other hand we have the bug which was pointed out in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb- creator/+bug/295212/comments/6 I had a look at the exact problem at that seems that be that usb-creator is not happy at all when you are trying to install a bootable image on the device directly instead of on a partition of the device. So if you install it on /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sdb1, it craches. device.lstrip returns "" instead of the partition number and from there on the regexp hangs for some reason, making the whole program hang in the "starting up" fase. Since I don't know usb-creator well enough I can't post a fix for the application; but at least as a work-around: just reformat the drive so that you have at least 1 partition sdb1 formatted in vfat. (gparted can help you with this). -- Missing dependency on mtools causes hang on "Starting Up" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
