Hi Phil Marsh, Could you check the usb-creator version you are using? You can use below command to get the package version:
apt-cache policy usb-creator-common | grep Installed And maybe you would like to have a try on my own patched usb-creator, you can install it with below commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yuningdodo/test sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk I promise there is no malicious code in it, you can check my bzr branch for reference :) lp:~yuningdodo/ubuntu/trusty/usb-creator/testing Regards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1395574 Title: startup disk creator freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1395574/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
