[Bug 1165200] Re: usb-creator-gtk fails to run on lubuntu13.04 beta 2

[Jonathan Marsden]

Tested in a fresh Lubuntu 13.04 VM.  Adding gir1.2-gudev-1.0 allows usb-
creator-gtk to run.

I have not created and tested a bunch of LiveUSB sticks this way, so
whether in fact python-gudev is also needed for correct operation is a
different (and as yet untested) issue.  The bug reported in this
Launchpad report, with the Python traceback relating to "from
gi.repository import GUdev" is definitely fixed by ensuring that
gir1.2-gudev-1.0 is installed.

So, the workaround at this point seems to be

  sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gudev-1.0

This is a tiny package, and should easily fit onto the Lubuntu 13.10
Saucy CD image.
