I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (trusty). With UNetBootin I managed to install it in a semi-broken way (freezes shorty after local user login), so I try and use that to re-create a Live USB. So effectively, I'm using * usb-creator-gtk=0.2.56.3ubuntu0.2 * on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (trusty)

I can confirm that this still exists in Ubuntu 14.04 with all updates installed as of today May 1st, 2015. The bootable USB drives I create with usb-creator-gtk work fine but I still get the failed to install bootloader complaint. This is not a good look for an LTS one year in as this is a key

According to the documentation, startup disk creator will create Ubuntu startup disks. It seems to look for the Ubuntu tag in the disk type, and if you try to make a Debian disk, it will fail with that error message Invalid version string 'GNU/LINUX'. This is the type for a Debian ISO, but not

I had the problem and my workaround was to run usb-creator-gtk as a regular user (i.e.: not as root) and also by slowly take my time to enter my password when usb-creator-gtk is trying to install the bootloader. My best guess as the why: I believe the partition table is set to be re- read just
