** Description changed: [SRU] [Impact] Unlike usb-creator-gtk, which has a different codebase, usb-creator-kde has long been non-functional, getting stuck immediately upon launching. This means that for Kubuntu, post-18.04 Lubuntu, and any user who chooses to use usb-creator-kde, it is useless. There is code to setup a progress dialog for when a USB is being written to, but it is in the class initialization, so it displays immediately. This moves that to the actual install method so it doesn't appear until the user clicks the button the perform the USB install. [Test Case] To reproduce the bug, simply launch usb-creator-kde (Startup Disk Creator in the menu). If the bug is present, the installation popup immediately displays, rendering the program unusable. If the bug is NOT present, the program should wait for the ISO and target to be specified and the button to perform the install to be clicked before the installation popup shows. It is highly recommended that a USB install is performed as part of the testing if the bug is not present. See below. [Regression Potential] The patch is small, applies cleanly, and does nothing to change logic. It merely moves logic around. There should be no reason why this should cause any sort of regression. The most likely cause of a regression would be the fact that the program has been unusable for so long, it hasn't seen a lot of use and, as such, its quality is a bit unknown. I would hope anyone testing would ensure that the basic function is there. ====================================== [Original Description] - STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch usb-creator-kde (Startup Disk Creator) EXPECTED RESULTS Application launches normally, waiting for the ISO and target before installing. ACTUAL RESULTS Without any input, the installation popup immediately shows up, making the program unusable. AFFECTED VERSIONS 0.3.2 0.3.5 (possibly earlier versions, but couldn't install in trusty) NOTES & WORKAROUND usb-creator-gtk is unaffected by this bug + + Tracked by Lubuntu here: https://phab.lubuntu.me/T51
