[Bug 1306977] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 beta2 install fails with "[Errno 5] Input/output error" (full disk install from USB drive)

[Martinique]

@psusi: I checked the sticks, and they both show errors. They're both
new and of different brands (Kingston and Transcend) and sizes, so it
seems quite unlikely that both are just randomly broken. Perhaps this is
a bug in Startup Disk Creator instead? Doesn't it do any data
verification?

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 beta2 install fails with "[Errno 5] Input/output
  error" (full disk install from USB drive)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I tried installing from two different USB sticks on two different
  computers, multiple times, and all hardware has been tested to work,
  so this is probably not a real disk error. The same error condition
  happens every time, towards the end of the setup process.

  The installed Ubuntu does not boot.

  I used Startup Disk Creator on Ubuntu 12.04 to write the image. The
  same image burnt to DVD installed fine, so apparently this bug only
  affects USB installs.

  This seems similar to bug #1252205.
