Startup Disk Creator fails to install bootloader.
Asked by
John Belton
This fails to complete the Bootable USB when creating it. It gets as far as asking for the password but after entering the password it stalls with a message "Unable to install bootlader" and hangs the USB. The ISO used creates working DVD copies and trying several USB sticks the result is the same (even ones used previously that worked). I was using Ubuntu 14.04.2 and tried it with Ubuntu 15.04 on another machine with the same result. I did use the Disks software to erase the USBs and checked the Bootable flag was set.
I have not had problems in the past creating bootable USB installers but don't remember using the Disks software to do the erasing so it may be something to do with that.
