Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: usb-creator
ubuntu 9.10 x86_64
usb-creator 0.2.12
I was following the UNR instructions for making a bootable USB drive.
I put the USB stick that I wanted to use into my computer. It was
formatted and automounted on insertion.
usb-creator puts a warning triangle by the /dev/sd device and tells me
that it must be formatted before usage. When I hit the format button,
nothing at all happens.
Trouble shooting shows that if I manually unmount the drive first then
the format works and I can proceed.
The button should be fixed to give an indication for why the format step
failed. Alternatively it could prompt for an unmount first as it is
obnoxious to automatically mount the drive and then make the user figure
out what things they must do before this button works.
