Public bug reported:
The "Startup Disk Creator" aka "usb-creator-gtk" often crashes when
making a bootable USB disk. I encounter the crashes shortly after giving
permission to install the boot-loader. I guess it happens somewhere
between installing the boot-loader and creating the ext2 filesystem.
To reproduce:
just download an Ubuntu image and install it onto a USB-drive using the
the usb-creator. Some of the attempts may result in a crash, sometimes
leaving you with a working disk, but often it's not possible to boot it
correctly. For me it's something around 40 % of the installations which
fail. (I need to make many USB disks as I'm helping people to install
Ubuntu and it's just easier and environmental better to use USB drives
instead of CDs).
This problem exists in Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 ("alpha"). Tested
on different hardware.
