I can confirm this unfortunately :frowning:

On my main system it starts correctly, however I booted a QA-test install (from just before release, ie. a clean install) and it doesn’t start, and I see a .crash file in /var/crash.

If run from a terminal (on test system) I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/usb-creator-kde", line 21, in <module>
    import sip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sip'

I can’t provide more currently, I’ll try and look tomorrow if I can, but I tend to use mkusb

balena etcher is very easy

Another confirm - tested on Lubuntu Hirsute 21.04 Final release.

I filed a bug report nr. 1926414.

As far as I can see this only affects new installs - I tested this on a machine running Lubuntu 20.10 and upgraded to 21.04 and had no problem with Startup disk creator"

I had a brief play using the detail in my prior comment hoping to find the missing package (No module named 'sip') between my primary box (where it works) and the a QA-test hirsute

(my primary box doesn’t make it easy as it’s been release-upgraded 8 times & has been heavily modified)

I’ll endeavor to try again to find what’s different when I can.

Thanks @leok

It didn’t work during testing - but I figured that it was either because it was in a VM or because it was the live environment. In hindsight, I probably should have mentioned that. It simply doesn’t open when you click on it.

That’s what I use and recommend. There are some folks who think that using an Electron application is a bit too much for writing images, but I just use Etcher.

good detail about etcher is possible write another types of ISO (clonezilla and etc).

The fix for this was released to Updates a short while ago according to the bug. You should see the update soon through your normal update process.
