Similarly for me, in trusty as well. Terminal output of running usb-creator-gtk doesn't say much either:
$ usb-creator-gtk /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/frontend.py:38: PyGIDeprecationWarning: Since version 3.11, calling threads_init is no longer needed. See: https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject/Threading GObject.threads_init() $ Commenting out the exception-swallowing try-except in gtk/frontend.py install(), I get a better error message: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/frontend.py:38: PyGIDeprecationWarning: Since version 3.11, calling threads_init is no longer needed.

Simply moving the .img file to a path containing no Unicode allowed usb- creator-gtk to create an image from it. Changing the locale itself didn't help, except that running in C locale made it crash even earlier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273739 Title: usb-creator-gtk does not work: "Installation Failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1273739/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
