On mga6 we have:

#!/usr/bin/python -tt

and on mga7 now we have:

#!/usr/bin/python2 -s -tt

Replacing 
#!/usr/bin/python2 -s -tt
by
#!/usr/bin/python2 -stt
is working.
Commonly shebang can have only one argument.

Assigning to QA now,


Advisory:
========================

There's a bad/unknown argument in the python binary that make liveusb-creator unusable.
So this update fixes this issue.

Comment 4 papoteur 2019-09-23 19:44:56 CEST
Uninstalled previous version.
Installed liveusb-creator-3.14.2-4.1.mga7.noarch
Launched liveusb-creator from command as root.
I works fine.
Comment 5 papoteur 2019-09-23 19:55:22 CEST
But launching from Menu - Tools - Administration tools doesn't work.
desktop file refers to liveusb-creator_polkit
this one contents:
 pkexec --disable-internal-agent "/usr/sbin/liveusb-creator" "$@"
but liveusb-creator is in /usr/bin, nor /usr/sbin
Comment 6 David GEIGER 2019-09-23 20:38:22 CEST
should be fixed liveusb-creator-3.14.2-4.2.mga7
Comment 7 papoteur 2019-09-23 21:11:17 CEST
Installing liveusb-creator-3.14.2-4.2.mga7
Launched from menu. Root password is asked, then the application opens.
It's also OK from command line.
OK for me.

Comment 9 Thomas Andrews 2019-09-24 15:07:02 CEST
Testing in VirtualBox, MGA7 64-bit Plasma.

Installed liveusb-creator and associated dependencies, 45 packages in all. Attempted to run from the menu, no joy.

Used "liveusb*" in the QArepo tool, which brought in the appropriate package. Updating also brought in some new dependencies:

The following 5 packages are going to be installed:

- extlinux-6.04-0.2.mga7.x86_64
- liveusb-creator-3.14.2-4.2.mga7.noarch
- perl-Crypt-PasswdMD5-1.400.0-6.mga7.noarch
- perl-Digest-SHA1-2.130.0-25.mga7.x86_64
- syslinux-6.04-0.2.mga7.x86_64

Packages installed cleanly. Afterward, liveusb-creator launched from the menu, asking for the root password. 

Looks OK for 64-bit.
Comment 10 Thomas Andrews 2019-09-24 15:10:17 CEST
With three successful tests, there is no reason to avoid validation. Advisory in Comment 3.
