[Bug 460298] Re: Installation failed when path to the ISO contains non-ascii characters

[Apteryx]

It seems this bug reappeared on Ubuntu 13.10. Using usb-creator-gtk
0.2.23, I can reproduce the problem when trying to use an  iso image
located in the downloads folder (LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8): ~/Téléchargements/.
If I move the iso to ~/, which contains no special character, then the
error is resolved. I also tried with other directory names containing
special characters and it failed in the same way. Could someone reopen
this bug?

Title:
  Installation failed when path to the ISO contains non-ascii characters

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  usb-creator-gtk version: 0.2.12
  Ubuntu 9.10

  When the path to ISO-file contains non-ascii Unicode characters, usb-
  creator-gtk fails with "installation failed".

  [SRU request]
  Impact:
  users cannot create usb startup disk unless moving ISO.
  ISO files are downloaded to xdg-downloads directory, and translated xdg-downloads directory's name usually contains non-ASCII characters.
  users who want to make Lucid startup disk on Karmic machine may face this error.

  fixed in version 0.2.21
  and exact change is the following:
  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~usb-creator-hackers/usb-creator/trunk/revision/292

  TEST CASE:
  1. Move ISO to "/home/user/DIRECTORY_NAME/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso" (DIRECTORY_NAME contains non-ascii character)
  2. Launch usb-creator-gtk and select the ISO
  3. Press "Make Startup Disk"
  4. Get "Installation failed" message

  Expected result:
  Press "Make Startup Disk",
  then start writing to USB stick
  and done.
