problem using SUSE Studio Imagewriter

English Applications
1

Hi all!
I just discovered a few weeks ago that I can install a new distro using a USB pen drive (flash drive).Last week I was able to install Manjaro by using Image Writer from Linux Mint this way. So I thought I would try installing PCLinuxOS but almost at the end (It is a 3.9 Gb going onto a 4 GB USB drive) the creating stopped.
I decided to give OpenSUSE a try and used SUSE Studio Image Writer. At first I was told;

You don’t have Udisks support

I tried to continue and see what would happen anad I clicked at the center to choose the iso to install. I selected it and this time I was told that Image Writer couldn’t create an image on a DVD ( even after choosing the USB drive ( pen size ) was selected).
What is going on?
I thought it could be the size of the iso (3.9 GB) but I tried a few more and the same messages. Any clues anyone?

Check this report:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2012-07/msg02253.html

I have installed:

udisks2-1.97.0-2.2.2.x86_64
libudisks2-0-1.97.0-2.2.2.x86_64
udisks-1.0.4-7.2.2.x86_64

All works well for me

Notice that there is a forum specific to susestudio, you should ask a
moderator to move your post there.
