usb-creator does not show it's own image (From LiveUSB)

[Sander Jonkers]

Binary package hint: usb-creator

On karmic alpha 3, after booting from the live CD, usb-creator does not show it's own Alpha 3 image to write to the USB stick. So I can't create an USB stick with Karmic Alpha 3 this way.

I'm quite sure that this method worked on older versions of Ubuntu. If so, it's a bug.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy usb-creator
usb-creator:
  Installed: 0.1.16
  Candidate: 0.1.16
  Version table:

Marking as incomplete. Current version of usb creator in karmic is 0.2.4.

Please test this version and reopen bug if it is still an issue. If you run into another issue actually writing the image to a usb disk, see bug #422671

just a heads up: Karmic Alpha 5 indeed does see it's own image. So solved & confirmed.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy usb-creator-gtk

I tried this with Karmic Beta booting from a usb stick (created with usb-creator in jaunty) and I do not see ubuntu 9.10.

Reopening as usb-creator in karmic does not see itself (when booting from a liveCD/liveUSB).

Confirmed in 0.2.11.

It does, however, show the live CD image just fine.
