usb-creator worked on 8.10 but not 9.04

[uy]

I had used it to make bootable USB thumb drives in previous versions e.g. 8.10 but with 9.04 usb-creator failed start up. It started with visibility in task-manager, and hourglass cursor - for as long as 40 second and then died or crashed away.



I tried twice, once in live-CD using sudo apt-get install usb-creator.

2nd time in persistent harddisk installation using KPackageKit to install it.

Same result both times.

If I tried to start in shell there were some error messages.

Had anyone tried usb-creator with Kubuntu 9.04 to make bootable USB thumb drives yet?

It's a bug in the dependencies for the package, actually; that is to say, since we're all in Ubuntu's Gnome shadow, no one noticed that in Kubuntu land there's a dependency missing for the package

I was having this exact same problem after the upgrade, I *think* the missing unlisted dependency is python-gnome2, so just a quick "sudo aptitude install python-gnome2" and you should be good.

Thanks for the info. I think you are right.

I just tested with Kubuntu live-CD:

I did on shell:

sudo apt-get install python-gnome2 usb-creator

It took some time to download and setup and then USB-creator GUI came out after I started it via K-menu.

Thanks.
