New issue 32701 by a...@chromium.org: Chrome OS Image Creator fails to open
USB stick on Mountain Lion
http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=32701

From internal report, http://b/6830151 :

-----
Displays Message:

Sorry an error occurred (Failed to open the USB stick, Permission Denied).
Would you like to try again?
-----

This is due to the fact that in Mountain Lion, the /dev/disk objects are
now owned by root, even if the user plugged them in. The recovery tool will
need to use a privileged helper.

fenton:

What version are you running? If it's not 2.0.1 then it certainly will not
work. If you _are_ running 2.0.1, please provide me more information about
your machine and setup.

On a feature bug, "fixed" means fixed in the source code. I don't know what
we're using to track public deployment.

Was this with v2.0.1? Can you provide more info about your setup? The bit
about "tried to be brought forward, but isn't in fPermittedFrontASNs" seems
to be some weirdness in the OS X that isn't related to me.

Creator is not working for me. Is there anything I can provide to help
debug this?

@josh if you're using the external image creator failure is expected. 2.0.1
(where we found a bug in QA) should work on Mountain Lion but QA
experienced an error in testing and hasn't been released yet.

When is 2.0.1 being released? Is there another way to create images?

My old steps in Terminal (below) have stopped working, too.

When we do about ChromeOS Image Creator it says 2.0.1. If needed I can
give you access to the Mac we are testing on.

When I go to the link below, I download the image creator and get version
0.8.8, which does not work on Mountain Lion.

1. Go here:

2. Click the Mac link:

Josh, that's the old version. We haven't uploaded the newest 2.0.1 release
just yet. It's in the process of being QA'ed. It's blocked on a bug at the
moment.

you can use the current mac image creator if you just type

sudo "/Applications/Chromium OS Image Creator.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium
OS Image Creator"

into the terminal with the image creator app in the applications folder.
the target image you want to use has to exist somewhere off the root
harddrive

"sudo /Users/***/Downloads/Chromium\ OS\ Image\

for me (it was in my downloads folder, obviously.) on Mac OS 10.8.2.
