I am the "another user" Nio mentions above. To confirm, in my case the
bug appeared two days ago when attempting a 64 bit 15.10 startup disk
under 64 bit 15.04. I attempted this process on three different USB
devices: a Transcend 16Gb, a SanDisk Cruzer 4Gb and a Lexar USB Card
Reader with a Transcend 4Gb Micro SDHC card in it.
There were no error messages during the usb-creator-gtk session, just an
unbootable USB stick as a result.
I should mention that I had to erase the sticks with the Ubuntu "disks"
utility as the "erase disk" function in usb-creator-gtk would not clear
the drive for me, giving me the message:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.GLib.Error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in
_message_cb
retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords)
File "/usr/share/usb-creator/usb-creator-helper", line 275, in Format
block.call_format_sync('vfat', GLib.Variant('a{sv}', {'label':
GLib.Variant('s', '')}), None)
GLib.Error: udisks-error-quark:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error synchronizing after
initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (0)
The "disks" utility has no problem formatting my usb sticks; usb-
creator-gtk shows no errors (as I noted above) installing the system on
the drive so formatted.
Also I was able to create a working boot disk on the Transcend 16Gb
using unetbootin.
