[Bug 722019] Re: Failed to install the bootloader

[Marcel Krause]

Patched /usr/share/pyshared/usbcreator/install.py to show details:
| @@ -241,3 +241,3 @@
|              except dbus.DBusException as dbus_err:

| +                self._failure(message + ':\n' + repr(dbus_err))
|          self.progress_pulse_stop()

New error message, whitespace adjusted for readability:

Hope this helps.

Title:
  Failed to install the bootloader

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  I am trying to run usb-creator-gtk to create either a Maverick 32bit
  or Karmic 32bit LIVE CD on my USB Flash Drive or Hard Drive but when
  usb-creator-gtk FINISHES it says "Failed to install the bootloader". I
  find all the files placed on my USB but when I try to boot it says
  there is no bootloader found.

  I have tried usb-creator-gtk with BOTH reserving extra space option and discarding extra space option
  I have tried usb-creator-gtk -n & usb-creator-gtk -s
  It is still not working.
