Same thing on 14.04.2. Upon entering admin user password the script fails with the error message, 'Failed to install boot loader' and quits. In fact, it's getting even worse as on top of it the script now fails to erase the USB stick as well with the error message: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.gi._glib.GError: Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/service.py, line 707, in _message_cb retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords) File /usr/share/usb-creator/usb-creator-helper, line 239, in Format block.call_format_sync('vfat', GLib.Variant('a{sv}', {'label': GLib.Variant('s', '')}), None) gi._glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object and from that point on the erasing takes forever.

My latest workaround is to run from the command-line, in a fresh terminal: unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS sudo usb-creator-gtk --allow-system-internal This provided a working boot media for me after several repeat runs hitting the bug in this thread. I am using bash shell (Ubuntu's default), so change the unset call if you are running a different shell. I found the variable to unset by running `env | grep -i dbus`.

the following worked for me on Quantal: $ usb-creator-gtk --allow-system-internal (select image, erase disk, create) Now wait until the LED on the USB has stopped flashing before entering root-password required for writing bootloader to the usb-stick.

My best guess of what the problem is: The application is trying to install the bootloader while some buffers (linux buffers, or hardware buffers, I don't know and I don't care) are not finished writing data on the usb key.

This bug affects me. I invoked usb-creator-gtk without knowing that was its name: I used Startup Disk Creator from the Dash Home thing on my Unity desktop (Oneiric + updates). It would be wise to keep names consistent. The thing failed after 10 minutes of copying files to the thumb drive. This makes retries quite tedious.

Nowhere is there an explanation of how or why to give Startup Disk Creator the --allow-system-internal. Certainly not in the broken help button. Even usb-creator-gtk(8) doesn't explain the flag well.
