Thanks Dmitrijs but this report is for the size limitation, the boot problem is
in the other report ;)
I wasn't sure if gtk/kde would make a difference and it's always best to check
in case :)
If we can get that fdisk -l output we can see what is being done with the flash
drive and if anything
I tried with both usb-creator-kde and usb-creator-gtk;
neither of them produced a bootable image on my usb disk, as expected.
Haven't tested it yet on a live disk yet, but attached is the fdisk -l output.
The usb disk is /dev/sdf, my root drive is /dev/sde.
As you can see, the disk is set to
I put Ubuntu's desktop image on an 8GB usb stick using kubuntu's front end.
Maybe there's something I'm missing here, but my pc won't even recognize the
prepared stick as bootable and goes straight to grub2, even when I specially
select the stick from the built-in (in the on-mainboard ROM)
Thank you for the update. Is this with the Lucid version of usb-creator?
Have you tried with usb-creator-gtk/kde? I believe this may be a
duplicate of bug 458482. It looks like the same problem, but can you
confirm please? Thank you.

the kde frontend I mentioned is indeed usb-creator-kde. I also think
you were correct about the problem I mentioned. As such I subscribed to
the bug.
I'd love to see this bug squashed but it looks like I'll have to wait
for bug 458482 to be fixed; otherwise I can't test it.

Does it make any difference if you use the usb-creator-gtk version at
all? Also is it Ubuntu 10.04 version of usb-creator you are using? Which
version are you now trying to create a USB disk for?

Right now I'm trying something to copy the same image I tried before
(the desktop AMD64 version of Ubuntu Lucid, not Kubuntu), also using the
same version of usb-creator-kde (the Kubuntu Lucid version on AMD64), to
the very same usb disk as before.
What's different this time is that I'm using the
Ok Jean-Paul. Let us know if this works for you, and if not can you try
with the gtk version of usb-creator please? Also, would you be able to
test if it works on the LiveCD of Ubuntu Lucid (to save installing it)
as I don't have a USB flash drive to be able to test it.
Also, can you provide the
usb-creator-kde vs usb-creator-gtk
don't make a difference both of them use exactly the same backend udisk
backend.
There is a package around which fixes the boot error at least for me.
I'll push it to the ppa along with the latest usb-creator code, there
were a few fixes in trunk since lucid

There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and

This is still a problem. In my case it is definitely an issue with the
file size limitations of vfat. I tried to make a persistent usb with
jaunty 9.04 beta DVD. Everything went fine and no errors were reported.
The usb boots up fine but nothing is persistent across reboots. I went
ahead and tried
I have tracked down the root of the problem. Usb-creator in jaunty beta
tries to create the casper-rw file as one large block. Notice the
count=1 in the dd command. Actually it should use a reasonable block
size like 1k and then create right number of blocks. Block sizes = 2GB
aren't allowed by
I don't think this problem is happening anymore: I installed the Jaunty Beta to
my Sandisk Cruzer 8GB, booted it, installed fglrx, and upon the reboot I only
got a completely corrupted screen. That tells me my changes were persistent,
albeit not completely the outcome I was looking for in this
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue
for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

@Roel Huybrechts: Sorry, i haven't tested but usb-creator want only vfat
and format back to vfat .
