With Natty release in kvm with usb flash attached: - with usb flash containing an iso image (copied with dd) usb-creator-gtk offers only the option to erase the flash and fails to do so, gparted fails to repartition - repartitioning with cfdisk creates a partition table that gparted understands. Created a single fat32 partition over the whole device. usb-creator-gtk offers only the option to erase device which again fails. - created a fat32 filesystem over the whole device (superfloppy) usb-creator-gtk offers only the option to erase disk which fails
The error gparted reports in terminal: Input/output error during write on /dev/sda Error fsyncing/closing /dev/sda: Input/output error As the only error in GUI is reported when creating the partition table I guess this is the cause. Interestingly, the partition table is created. cfdisk does not have this issue while creating a partition table. Another interesting thing is that rebooting with the flash disk already partitioned and formatted fixes the issue. usb-creator-gtk offers the option to make a startup disk then. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/720924 Title: Failed to install Natty on a USB key -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
