[Bug 529366] Re: Regression: usb-creator-gtk fails to set the boot flag on the partition and exits.

[Thiago Santini]

Same problem here under 10.04.3
Solved by creating a new fat32 partition using fdisk then running usb-creator-gtk through alt+f2.
After that, from usb-creator-gtk, erased the usb-stick which created a new partition on the stick and everything went okay from there.

Title:
  Regression: usb-creator-gtk fails to set the boot flag on the
  partition and exits.

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “usb-creator” source package in Lucid:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  As of the latest update (0.2.16), usb-creator-gtk doesn't work. When
  trying to install a live USB, the program says that the installation
  of the bootloader failed, and then quits. I have tried the Jaunty CD,
  Jaunty ISO and Karmic ISO with both space reservation options. Another
  side effect is that a loop device is created, but not unmounted, so
  after eight tries (eight loop devices), a different message
  ("Installation failed") appears because of the unavailability of a
  loop device.
