Hello Doug, it seems you're using the nvidia driver, is that correct? In that case I can't really provide assistance.
Yes, that is correct. I had checked that the issue also showed up using a virtualbox install but that was either a different issue or it was also hitting an issue with the nvidia driver of the host. I just made sure that the issue is caused by nvidia by booting up an install that I have on an old hard drive. I fully updated that install and was able to open liveusb-creator without error using install which uses nouveau. I will see if I can close this bug.
This definitely does seem like a bug... It is a bug in qt5, which seems to be related to loading the wrong OpenGL library. You can read more about it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-qt4/+bug/941826 https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/385 It sounds like other applications have decided to fix it. You can, I hope, appreciate the unpleasant confusion that surrounds the experience of finding out that a basic disk manipulation tool I've been using for years suddenly cares what brand of GPU I'm using.
I agree with comment no. 4! If a program doesn't work with a certain driver but a whole systems runs fine with the same driver something is wrong with the program.
liveusb-creator will be deprecated in favor of the mediawriter package. Please try installing that, as far as I know from the reports, it does not exhibit this behavior.
Fedora website is still referring to install of liveusb-creator: https://getfedora.org/workstation/download/ws-download-splash?file=https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/24/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-24-1.2.iso
The website will change with the release of Fedora 25, as we are testing the mediawriter with the current pre-releases.
FYI, Just downloaded F25 and LiveUSB Creator is still being referenced....
Fixed on master of website, should be live soon.
