    Exclamation Start Up Disk Creator in 13.04 is Crashing!

    It won't let me File a Bug Report either saying that I have Obsolete Packages Installed.

    You should update your packages

    It crashes at the end either while trying to create the EFI Bootloader or just after that, Only setting that I changed was to Discard On Shut Down, this is NOT a Mac Computer so I am surprised that it thinks that I have an EFI Boot Loader?

    Has anyone else experienced this? I've been running Ubuntu 13.04 in a Parallels VM on my Mac, and this app is terribly unreliable. Using a variety of 13.04 server daily images, sometimes it crashes (silently), other times it appears like it finishes but doesn't yield a usable USB boot drive. The VM is completely updated before I start and I use the current daily when I attempt to make the usb boot disk.

    I can confirm that's an unreliable application and not only on RR - I had the some problems on 12.04 LTS (up to date) too and therefore I was dd'ing daily ISOs (since yesterday it is working again). I will look what's the problem but due to lack of time I was unable to digg deeper - it seems there is a problem in generating working boot support/code.

    i have had issues with the start-up disc creator for at least the last couple of releases. i have switched to using "unetbootin" and have had no problems whatsoever.

    "unetbootin" is available in the repos.
