[Bug 1072866] [NEW] installing Pangolin from an SD card to another SD card, target suddenly became read-only

[Kevin Markwell]

Public bug reported:

Was using Pangolin live SD card (made with USB Disk Creator from new
Pangolin image), booted fine. Clicked "Install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS" icon,
carefully avoided other partitions, set installation to format & install
on previously-working, newish, rarely-used SD card. During "Copying
files" stage, error came up saying it had suddenly become Read-Only. All
USB2 from motherboard hub, seems reliable for other things. Will retry
with different PC, cards & readers in case of hardware glitch.
