[Bug 1260410] Re: usb-creator-gtk unusable

[Christopher M. Penalver]

Mike, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is missing. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. First, execute at a terminal:
cd /var/crash && sudo rm * ; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo service apport start force_start=1

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable
apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now reproduce the crash, then open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. If you run the command against the crash report and it does nothing, you may be affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921 . In order to WORKAROUND this, one would need to open the following file via a command line:
gksudo gedit /etc/apport/crashdb.conf

and comment out the line:
'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

by changing it to:
# 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

Save, close, and try to file the crash report again via:
ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will
automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more
efficiently.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  usb-creator-gtk unusable

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Fresh install of 13.10 and the USB Startup Creator is just fail.
  Attempting to select an iso is an exercise in futility. It allows me
  to navigate to the iso, but when I click Open it simply returns to the
  home screen without displaying the selected iso.

  I'm trying to make a stick to install OpenSuse 13.1

  In an effort to bypass this bug, I tried to drag and drop the iso into
  the window and the app immediately crashed. I tried to duplicate this
  behavior but it was a one-time-show.
