I ran into this similar issue and found that the issue seems to be that
usb-creator assumes your usb stick has a partition table. If your usb
stick's partition is /dev/sdb and not /dev/sdbX, for example, line 449
in backend.py will fail:
num = re.match('.*([0-9]+)$', tmp).groups()[0]
I reformatted my usb stick to include a partition table and this issue
went away. From want I see many usb sticks come pre-formatted like a
floppy disk, the equivalent of "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb" so I believe this
issue should be addressed. I do not know what that means in terms of
installing a boot loader if there is not a partition table....
