The following bug report is related to this one, in the meaning that
this new (and I think much improved) Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator, usb-
creator-gtk, has made the problem visible to many more people. I am
thinking of Bug #1622313, 'gparted does not recognize the iso9660 file

@marc,
Yes .. I see that now. In fact I am used to just using the restore
option on gnome 'disks' which works just beautifully.

There should be an obvious to it's use button that opens a confirmation
dialogue & if accepted restores the chosen device to storage, ie. FAT32
No options, just basically ask for permission to take care of this &

It doesn't make sense to copy most of the gnome-disk-utility code into
SDC just to format a USB stick. What we should do is actually fix gnome-
disk-utility so that it can correctly detect and erase a USB stick that
was images with a Ubuntu boot disk.
Once that is done, we can then add a button to

Marc. Please take look at screenshot in this post. I don't totally
understand what happened to the development of SDC because it works just
fine in earlier distros. Is it too difficult to back-step code?

Just to note;
It has been mentioned that this is the purview of gnome-disks which is
currently unable to handle SDC formatting.
Well maybe or maybe not but at the time of this change to SDC it was obviously
known that gnome-disks was deficient.
So why wasn't that addressed is one way or the oth
As soon as I have some free time, I'll try and isolate the race that is
preventing udisks2 from working correctly.

@ventrical: the old SDC created a single partition and attempted to
perform all required operations in it for it to boot on different
devices. That unfortunately didn't work properly. The new SDC simply
copies the boot image to the device, multiple partitions and all, so
that the resulting USB stic
** Description changed:
While sdc now works well it creates partitioning/formatting that the default
installed Disks app cannot deal with. This will make it hard for users to
return the usb drive to use as a storage device after using to install *buntu.
Test case:
Create a boot/install dri
Most of this should be possible to do.
But the SDC *clones* the pendrive. This means that there is no way to
tell if it was cloned by the SDC or by some other cloning tool (for
example dd, gnome-disks, mkusb). It can be confirmed, that it is a
drive, that is cloned from an Ubuntu family iso file,
@ Doug McMahon:
Can you specify in detail what you want,please!
Maybe you can give an example.

On the other hand, there is a lot of instructions that promote
dd if=distro.iso of=/dev/sdx
at the web pages of several major linux distros. And I seldom see any
warning or hint how to restore t
This really needs to be addressed & I'm not too sure that an 'informational'
fix is good enough.
Clearly breaking users hardware is unacceptable & that's what SDC is in effect
doing.

Plus the idea of leaving people to use
