Comment 39 for bug 859539

This bug affects me on Ubuntu Studio 12.10, 32-bit.

It seems waiting until light on USB drive stops blinking before typing password (as suggested in this thread) might be a workaround. I managed to successfully create an image once, and it could be that it was some waiting before typing the password.

Run from cli "usb-creator-gtk --allow-system-internal" it asks for system password, seems to run as root and crashes with the message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" while creating the persistence file.

Run from cli "sudo usb-creator-gtk --allow-system-internal" it crashed without any error message while still copying files (before the creation of a persistence file.

Run from cli "sudo usb-creator-gtk" it crashed without any error message while finishing. Will try if it created a bootable stick and report back.

Testing requires patience as each run is ~ 10-15 mins or more...
