Bug Description

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 64Bit and Startup Disk Creator fails and freezes when copying files to the USB drive.
I'm using FAT32 format on the USB drive and should have more than enough drive space allocated ~8GB for the Ubuntu 14.04 64Bit image.
The Startup Disk Creator fails at about 51% and the time remaining dissappears with the program freezing.
I cannot create a USB install and this used to work a few months ago but now is apparently broken.
Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil Marsh,

Could you check the usb-creator version you are using? You can use below command to get the package version:

apt-cache policy usb-creator-common | grep Installed

And maybe you would like to have a try on my own patched usb-creator, you can install it with below commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yuningdodo/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk

I promise there is no malicious code in it, you can check my bzr branch for reference :)
