Comment 12 for bug 492301

I used "Startup Disk Creator" on my Lucid to setup my USB flash drive with persistent data. And I experience the problem described in bug #500822 and #508944, which both are said to be duplicate of this bug.

It stops booting at the Ubuntu screen, with dots moving beneath. But it never continues. Hitting escape shows the following:

(process:320): Glib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)

stdin: error 0
/init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found

Praveen B indicates that using usb-creator 0.2.12 is fine, but I checked mine was 0.2.22 already as indicated in Synaptics.

Again, the same problem is not observed if the usb is prepared with non-persistent data.
