Bug Description
[Impact]
usb-creator is unable to create usb sticks with Ubuntu on it for lots of people, due to this crash.
[Test Case]
What is expected to happen is when one plug in a freshly FAT32 formatted drive (example hardware this is reproducible on, but not limited to):
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 1058:1130 Western Digital Technologies, Inc.
and clicks button Make Startup Disk, it doesn't crash. What happens is when it prompts for the sudo password, it crashes during this or after accepting the password.
We never came up with a reliable test case for creating the crash in this bug report. There are reports of being able to recreate it by using usb-creator on an amd64 system to create and i386 iso with persistence. However, I think the best way to verify the fix is to check the errors bucket and ensure that the -proposed versions of the package do not appear on that page.
Errors bucket:
https:/
and possibly this bucket
https:/
To reproduce:
Fairly reliably reproducible with ubuntu-
Traceback:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
_dbus_watch_
171 ../../dbus/
#0 _dbus_watch_
No locals.
#1 0x00007ffff5dec93d in free_watches (transport=

#6 0x00007ffff5dd48e4 in _dbus_connectio

It seems to be that NULL is passed to _dbus_watch_
I'd like to open dbus bug and fix that function in dbus to be more resilient.

Using quantal up to date on 11/05/2012, trying to create an usb key of quantal AMD64, I get these crashes after I'm been asked for my password.
I'm using an usb 3 port (usb key is 2.0 only).
The password is asked pretty quick in regard of previous times (before quantal).
I tried to write the iso again, typing my password as soon as it's asked for, same crash!
I tried to wait (till the usb key led stopped blinking), then typed my password, the creation of the ubuntu usb key worked!
I'll guess the program doesn't wait enough time before trying to make the usb key bootable.
regards.

I've tried multiple times to recreate this bug with no luck. I've run usb-creator as sudo, thereby avoiding the password prompt, and had my usb stick in a older usb hub. Perhaps it has to do with how the usb stick is formatted?

Hello Brian,
I hope you can read and understand my English.
On my other laptop I installed Xubuntu 12.10 today and there was no problem.
So I tried on my "normal", with 3 partitions for 3 installations.
I tried to reproduce the error, but all seems to work now, don't ask me
why :-)
Kindly regards,
Ron

I just got u-c-g to crash for me, with at least a similar looking stacktrace. Will investigate further.

I was able to reproduce this, with a similar looking traceback. I'll investigate further.
However, suspiciously, after the crash, my machine became totally unresponsive to keyboard input, ssh, etc. I couldn't even get a top to see what was going on. I don't see anything suspicious in the logs. This required a hard power cycle. Has anybody else seen that?
Barry Warsaw (barry) wrote : | #14 |
Happened again - usb-creator-gtk invocation caused resource depletion and system hang. I managed to capture the top two 100% cpu hogs in top before the system stopped responding:
udisk-helper-
/usr/lib/
I'll add udisk as a bug task for now, though this could be a separate problem.
Barry Warsaw (barry) wrote : | #15 |
Okay, I think my crash is a different problem, so that's reported as LP: #1064072
I can't reproduce the original problem.
The udisks CPU consumption seems to be related to erasing the usb drive. If I do that out-of-band, then the 100% consumption by u-h-m-p and u-d don't occur.
Barry Warsaw (barry) wrote : | #16 |
So, given that the current crash is a different but, try as I might, I can't reproduce the original bug report.
I have moved away from lubuntu for now so I won't get a chance to test the
same configuration again.

Hi,
I just ran this again this morning with the intent of valgrinding the output... and it didn't fail (which is a first).
I'm on Quantal with usb-creator-gtk 0.2.40ubuntu1
The valgrind log did have some error activity though so I'm posting this up.

Forgive me if this is redundant, but I figured I would add my experience.
1. I am using 12.10 on my machine. My USB stick is a Verbatim Tuff & Tiny 8GB.
2. I am creating a USB installer using the 12.04.1 ISO which I downloaded today. I selected 1GB persistence.
3. As someone else mentioned above, if I type in my password at the bootloader prompt as soon as it shows, or shortly after, the identical crash & stacktrace occurs.
4. If I delay typing in my password for approximately 5 minutes (my USB stick does not have an activity LED), the job completes with no errors.
5. In two cases, I selected to submit the error report. Not sure if this produces excessive error log noise for the various devs to wrangle through.
I am willing to continue assisting and/or testing when and if I am able.

I got this crash consistently several times in a row while trying to update my USB stick to Quantal. After reading through the comments, I tried the following experiment:
1. Run USB Disk Creator, but at the first prompt for password (for writing the boot information), I opened a terminal and called "sync", then waited for that to return.
2. After that completed, I went back to the prompt window and typed in my password.
3. I went ahead and selected a persistence file and USB Disk Creator completed without crashing.
I'm running Quantal amd64 and the image I used was the Quantal amd64 image.

Now that the Ubuntu family have hybrid ISOs, I personally use "dd"
except when I'm actually testing. Can't argue with your basic premise,
though.

Apologies if I go on a bit of a rant, but this bug has persisted across multiple releases for me and, judging by the number of duplicates and the number of forum postings that I see on this topic, it seems rather ridiculous that this hadn't been addressed. Is there some technical reason for this bug? Not being a programmer, I can't comment on the difficulty of solving the problem, but it sure seems like such a critical bug in what is probably some people's first introduction to Ubuntu should not be persisting for this long.
Imagine the following conversation:
"Hey, do you want to try Ubuntu? I can throw it onto a USB stick and let you give it a try."
"Sure."
"Hmm, it looks like I'm having some trouble creating the USB stick. Hang on, let me Google around a bit to see if I can figure out why it keeps crashing."

"Never mind, if Ubuntu requires this much work I don't have time."

Testing Lubuntu Saucy 32-bit. Maybe it is this bug, maybe one of all the other bugs. Some minutes ago, the pendrive did not boot.
This time even the casper-rw file was created. Maybe persistence will work. Maybe my two crashes are different.
sudodus (nio-wiklund) wrote : | #42 |
usb-creator-gtk created the live part of the installer, but crashed with segfault and failed to create a casper-rw file.
I think it is Bug #915626
"usb-creator-gtk crashed with SIGSEGV in _dbus_watch_
because the error output contains
'Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-(and a temporary file string)'
-----
The pendrive made during the attempt described above did not boot at all. I should add that I told usb-creator-gtk to 'erase the disk'.
I wiped the first megabyte (dd with zeros), used gparted to make a new partition table and a partition with fat32. Then I tried usb-creator-gtk again. I got the same or a similar segfault, but this time the casper-rw file was created and the drive could boot. There is even persistence now.
Conclusion:
Erasing a USB pendrive with usb-creator-gtk is not enough to make it work properly.
Wiping the first megabyte (dd with zeros) will make it stop and complain.
It is necessary to make a partition table. I made a partition and a file system too, did not test the other alternatives.
So to increase the chances to succeed with usb-creator-gtk, I recommend wiping the first megabyte and making a new msdos partition table, partition and fat32 file system.
Comment:
usb-creator-gtk should be able to do all that by itself, when told to 'erase the disk'.
-----
So finally the program did its job, although it reported a segfault instead of normal termination.

It looks to me like this is a failure due to not initializing multi-threading in dbus. Two threads appear to be closing the connection at once and thus the second thread crashes since there is no locking. The attached patch appears to fix the problem for me at least.

Also note that this master bug, and many duplicates have been reported

Works for me, thx! Issue #694060 still exists.

@Gunnar - on what release does it work for you?

Chiming in here...
On 13.10 I find it works reliably if I use it with gksudo.
Regards, Chris Hermansen

Got the error once with the old package. Tried 3 times and was unable to get the error with the proposed precise package.

I'm thinking we can drop the quantal build at this point. Thoughts?

The verification of the Stable Release Update for usb-creator has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.
