Bug in usb-creator-gtk

[kerryhall]

I'm trying to make a bootable usb drive. I'm using usb-creator-gtk. When I try to use the file selection dialog to pick and ISO, I click "open" but the iso does not get added to the list of images. The most frustrating error, the ones that fail silently.

This program is specialised for Ubuntu, and will accept only Ubuntu ISOs.

(I agree that Startup Disk Creator should give an error message instead of just not doing anything. Perhaps you can raise this as a bug?)

If you wish to write a non-Ubuntu ISO, you need to use something like unetbootin (I think it is available from the standard repositories).

Thanks for the help here!

Unetbootin should work.

sudo apt-get install unetbootin

And I only use Startup Disc Creator to erase my USB Pendrive when need be.
