Description Jan Sedlák 2016-04-22 07:52:10 UTC
Description of problem:
When I run liveusb-creator on Windows 10 64bit as administrator, after I click on "write to disk", it immediately shows that disk was written but USB drive is empty. Partition table gets destroyed in the process, so USB drive shows its content as "unallocated" in GNOME Disks.

USB drive was formatted to msdos parttable with one FAT32 partition.

When I run liveusb-creator from powershell, it shows no traceback.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.14.2

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download liveusb-creator for windows (I have used https://mbriza.fedorapeople.org/liveusb-creator.zip)
2. Run it as administrator
3. Choose Fedora Workstation
4. After it downloads Fedora, click on "write to disk"

Actual results:
liveusb-creator shows that image was written successfully, but USB disk is empty.

Expected results:
USB disk should contain Fedora Workstation image.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2016-04-22 08:10:32 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 24-beta by Fedora user jsedlak using the blocker tracking app because:

 Violates criterium "Release-blocking live and dedicated installer images must boot when written to optical media of an appropriate size (if applicable) and when written to a USB stick with any of the officially supported methods."

Comment 2 Martin Bříza 2016-04-22 15:43:29 UTC
Should be fixed in an updated version of the package on https://mbriza.fedorapeople.org/liveusb-creator.zip .
Sorry, still no version number included. Coming in the next build. Until then you can report dates from the archive.
