I'll just add that I have the same issue - I have tried usb-creator on two different ISOs (one for FreeBSD 8.1 LiveCD, the other for Ubuntu 10.10 netbook), both onto a 16 GB Corsair. This flash drive has had other OS on it before, notably Backtrack 4.
I set the Persistence file to 4 GB in the options the first time, I think 3GB the second time. The program took 8 or 10 minutes to build the persistence file. I was off doing other things at the time that ended, so it may be that it crashed right at the end of that portion of the process. This line showed up in my .xsessions-errors - perhaps it is indicative of something. The lines around it were not relevant. computer:///Corsair Flash Voyager.drive -> /usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/48/drive-removable-media-usb.svg And this is the end of .usb-creator.log: usb-creator 2010-09-07 19:34:39,463 (DEBUG) install.py:519: Writing /media/B330-3EB6/.disk/casper-uuid-generic usb-creator 2010-09-07 19:34:39,463 (DEBUG) install.py:519: Writing /media/B330-3EB6/.disk/cd_type usb-creator 2010-09-07 19:34:39,463 (DEBUG) install.py:519: Writing /media/B330-3EB6/.disk/info usb-creator 2010-09-07 19:34:39,464 (DEBUG) install.py:219: mangle_syslinux usb-creator 2010-09-07 19:34:39,467 (DEBUG) install.py:310: create_persistence usb-creator 2010-09-07 19:34:39,469 (DEBUG) misc.py:127: ['dd', 'if=/dev/zero', 'bs=1M', 'of=/media/B330-3EB6/casper-rw', 'count=4095'] usb-creator 2010-09-07 19:42:08,982 (DEBUG) misc.py:127: ['mkfs.ext3', '-F', '/media/B330-3EB6/casper-rw'] usb-creator 2010-09-07 19:43:56,577 (DEBUG) install.py:335: sync Looking at the mounted flash drive, it appears to have a complete system on it. I will take it home and see if it actually boots my netbook, and report back. -- usb-creator shrows segmentation fault when trying to create Ubuntu 10.04 i386 disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572611 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
