And, again, with a small persistent size (only 0.45 GB on a 4GB stick), things seem to go OK (I still have to check the boot). See log below.
Remarkable: in the successful log there is a line with "/usr/share/usb- creator/install.py", which does not appear in the log of an unsuccessful usb-creator install. So, if this is really the case: 1) you can see in the log whether things have gone OK by checking for /usr/share/usb-creator/install.py 2) the problem with the large persistent space is before or in /usr/share/usb-creator/install.py ubu...@ubuntu:~$ usb-creator -- Starting up at 15:59:29 -- [15:59:30] new device: {'udi': '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_3624_E0E5', 'capacity': dbus.UInt64(4126146048L), 'uuid': '3624-E0E5', 'device': '/dev/sdb1', 'mountpoint': '/media/\x0f', 'fstype': 'vfat', 'free': 4118052864L, 'label': '\x05A\x05A\x05A\x05A\x05A\x05'} [15:59:30] adding: /dev/sdb1 [16:02:10] mounting /mnt/ntfs/Users/Sander/Downloads/ubuntu-alpha3-karmic-desktop-i386.iso [16:02:10] ['mount', '-t', 'iso9660', '-o', 'loop,ro', '/mnt/ntfs/Users/Sander/Downloads/ubuntu-alpha3-karmic-desktop-i386.iso', '/tmp/tmpwPgEEI'] [16:02:10] updating dest_status as part of update_row_state [16:02:10] ['umount', '/tmp/tmpwPgEEI'] [16:02:10] ['rmdir', '/tmp/tmpwPgEEI'] [16:02:23] Installing...
