[Bug 694625] Re: USB startup disk creator hangs on Finishing

[teledyn]

also experienced the same trying to create USB image on SanDisk 8G drive
and no persistent image using the 64-bit server 13.04 from both a 13.04
64-bit laptop and from a 12.10 32-bit laptop.  The process hangs for
along time, the light on the USB throbs, and then the application
crashes causing apport to file a report on it.  I also tried freshly
reformatting the drive (FAT32) with the same result; the USB drive
appears to have the ISO unpacked into the filesystem, but is perhaps
failing on the bootloader stage (and the resulting USB will not boot)

  USB startup disk creator hangs on Finishing

  What I expected to Happen:
  When creating the USB disk, after it was written the Finish Dialog should end and I should get the "please remove the usb disk and put it into the computer you would like to start it with" (or something to that effect)

  What Happened Instead:
  I was creating a Maverick 32-bit desktop stick from an iso file that I have created sticks with before.
  I added 3GB of extra space on the stick with the slider (so that programs will be persistent) (awesome feature thanks!)
  Disk gets created normally
  After a while it says 99% complete
  Then is goes to Finishing...
  and hangs.

  So I mount and unmount the stick, unplug it and stick it in the
  computer to be booted and it boots just fine... but I am still staring
  at this Install Finishing... dialog box on my stick making computer.
  The cancel button does not click... it's just stuck.

  I've attached the output of lsof in the second post as it may help the
  debug process. (this is with the stick removed and the dialog box
  still hanging on the screen.
