Some variation of this(these?) bug(s?) still seems to exist on vivid. I
landed here googling my original error message. While attempting to
workaround / document it I now experience an error:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.GLib.Error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in
_message_cb
retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords)
File "/usr/share/usb-creator/usb-creator-helper", line 274, in Format
part.call_set_flags_sync(boot_dos_flag, no_options, None)
GLib.Error: udisks-error-quark:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error setting partition flags
on /dev/sdb2: Command-line `parted --script "/dev/sdb" "set 2 boot off"' exited
with non-zero exit status 1: Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical
block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes.

WORKAROUND:
I was able to work around this for my case as described in
http://askubuntu.com/questions/485357/unknown-error-from-startup-disk-creator -
"right click on the .iso in the file explorer and select 'Open With Disk Image
Writer' and then 'restore' the ISO image to the selected USB device."
Not sure if this comment really belongs in this bug or a new one
