Public bug reported:
Prerequisites:
Have a copy of ubuntu-12.04-alternate-amd64.iso loaded somewhere accessible and
a USB stick capable of accepting the aforementioned image.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Startup Disk Creator.
2. For the CD Drive / Image, select ubuntu-12.04-alternate-amd64.iso.
3. Select USB stick to load image on to.
4. Click "Erase Disk".
5. Confirm "YES" to the prompt "...erase the entire disk?".
6. Authorize formatting the device (by typing in your user password and
clicking "Authenticate").
6a. Wait for erase to complete.
7. Select the radio button "Discarded on shutdown, unless you save them
elsewhere."
8. Click "Make Startup Disk" button.
9. Authorize installing the bootloader.
Expected result:
No upgrade dialog is shown until usb-creator has finished, or until the user
unplugs the key and plugs it back in.
Actual result:
While the bootloader is still installing (the "Installing the bootloader..."
loading bar is still open and active), a dialog box appears saying "Upgrade
volume detected".
I reproduced this issue twice in a row, using unity 5.12-0ubuntu1 as my
desktop environment. I also have a video (~2M file) showing my steps and
the unexpected result.
