Thank you for reporting this issue and trying to improve Ubuntu. Could you walk me through the steps to reproduce this issue?

I also have re-attached your file as a .png file as it was download a a binary file, just for convenience sake.

* This reports status has been changed to "incomplete" as a bug-control triager has elected to triage it. Once enough information has been gathered it will be changed to confirmed the finally triaged. Once again thank you for reporting this issue

sure,
I simply opened the tool,
select an image (i chose the alternate cd for amd64 ubuntu 8.10)
inserted the usb key, and then pressed the `go' button or whatever it
was called.
it reach perhaps 110% or so by the time it was done.
as an aside, the end product usb stick didn't boot, the computer said
it wasn't a valid boot device, but it might just be the hardware and
not the install.
cheers,

Same thing for me : I just created two USB installation disks, one with Ubuntu 8.10 i386 ISO, the other one with Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 ISO, and both copying processes reached 101% at the end of the process.

Using usb-creator 0.1.10 on Ubuntu 8.10

EDIT : Package version is 0.1.10, but usb-creator --version says 0.1.8.

I can confirm this as well in the Jaunty version (Installed: 0.1.16). It was at 102% when creating the persistence area. Evan, have you taken a peek to see if there are any obvious logical mistakes in calculating the percentage when creating the persistence area?

Still happens in karmic.
I just downloaded a Lucid daily image and installed it on a 16gb USB stick

I can confirm it on Lucid 10.04 (up-to-date). I copied Ubuntu 9.10 ISO to my 8GB USB disc and progress bar showed 932% complete at the end, see attached screenshot.

usb-creator: 0.2.16

$ usb-creator-gtk --version
0.2.8

usb-creator can report negative numbers for progress too.

Saw this w/ usb-creator 0.2.22 (amd64) on Lucid while trying to copy a custom .iso to a 1GB Sandisk USB stick.

Well usb-creator really wants to become a time-machine so that QA team
can test ubuntu releases 6 months in advance ;-)

The more than 100% has been fixed in trunk. I'll recheck the whole
time-estimation logic when i have time.

ps. reminds me of http://xkcd.com/612/

Affected me.

Mine was placing Maverick-beta on a disk from Jaunty, in case that data is useful.
