I am starting the ubuntu start up disk creator (usb-creator-gtk) on Ubuntu 17.10 (4.13.0-37-generic) and getting this dialog:



enter image description here



I already reinstalled it by:



sudo apt remove usb-creator-gtk
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install usb-creator-gtk


And I checked its installation path:



whereis usb-creator-gtk
usb-creator-gtk: /usr/bin/usb-creator-gtk /usr/share/man/man8/usb-creator-gtk.8.gz


And I tried to start it directly with:



/usr/bin/usb-creator-gtk


And i did a hexdump which showes there is no 0xd9 at position two. There is an 0x21:



hd -n 32 /usr/bin/usb-creator-gtk
00000000 23 21 2f 75 73 72 2f 62 69 6e 2f 70 79 74 68 6f |#!/usr/bin/pytho|

But still the same issue.

          Create a bug report



          This looks like a bug that affects Ubuntu 17.10 in your computer. I suggest that you create a bug report at Launchpad.



          Edit: I tested in my 'testing Ubuntu 17.10 amd64 installed system', and it works to install (clone) Lubuntu 17.10.1 amd64 with the Startup Disk Creator. So I cannot report the bug. Of course, we have different hardware, but another difference could be the installation. My system was a fresh installation from the 17.10 iso file, and kept up to date. Was your system upgraded from a previous version of Ubuntu?



          Use another tool



          Until it is fixed, I suggest that you use another tool to create a USB boot drive,



          • Disks alias gnome-disks (which comes with Ubuntu)



          • mkusb which is installed via a PPA



            sudo add-apt-repository universe # only for *live* standard Ubuntu

            sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/ppa # and press Enter
            sudo apt-get update
            sudo apt-get install mkusb mkusb-nox usb-pack-efi

          • Yep, I think I started once with Ubuntu 15, walking through all releases. Don't want to setup the system from scratch. Hopefully this 'upgrade-bug' is obsolete with the next update to 18.04.
