I was attempting to create a bootable USB stick with 15.10 on it so I could follow the request to look for problems prior to the 15.10 final beta release. And the first problem I found was that I could not create a 15.10 USB stick that boots from usb-creator-gtk running on 15.04. Nio confirmed this problem, on x86 (I was trying on amd64). As to "hard evidence", hmm I don't know what harder evidence you might require.

I don't believe you should expect a huge number of people finding (or not) this problem at this point in time...

Well, that may be the case, but in the circumstances at hand, making a bootable USB stick for Ubuntu 15.10 beta amd64 from an up-to-date Ubuntu 15.04 amd64 system hardly strikes me as some edge case that can be safely ignored by instructing the people concerned to use a more mainstream procedure. Anyway. I don't have a dog in this "let's replace usb-creator-gtk race"; I'm just trying to do my Ubuntu QA volunteer thing and the tool at hand is broken. I leave it to you all to figure out whether the tool needs fixing or replacing. -- Chris Hermansen · clhermansen "at" gmail "dot" com C'est ma façon de parler. -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
