usb-creator-gtk created the live part of the installer, but crashed with segfault and failed to create a casper-rw file.
I think it is Bug #915626 "usb-creator-gtk crashed with SIGSEGV in _dbus_watch_invalidate" because the error output contains 'Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-(and a temporary file string)' ----- The pendrive made during the attempt described above did not boot at all. I should add that I told usb-creator-gtk to 'erase the disk'. I wiped the first megabyte (dd with zeros), used gparted to make a new partition table and a partition with fat32. Then I tried usb-creator-gtk again. I got the same or a similar segfault, but this time the casper-rw file was created and the drive could boot. There is even persistence now. Conclusion: Erasing a USB pendrive with usb-creator-gtk is not enough to make it work properly. Wiping the first megabyte (dd with zeros) will make it stop and complain. It is necessary to make a partition table. I made a partition and a file system too, did not test the other alternatives. So to increase the chances to succeed with usb-creator-gtk, I recommend wiping the first megabyte and making a new msdos partition table, partition and fat32 file system. Comment: usb-creator-gtk should be able to do all that by itself, when told to 'erase the disk'. ----- So finally the program did its job, although it reported a segfault instead of normal termination. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/915626 Title: usb-creator-gtk crashed with SIGSEGV in _dbus_watch_invalidate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/915626/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
