Title:
  Consistently fails with "Failed to install the EFI bootloader"

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  First off, I am running usb-creator on Debian testing/unstable, I
  built the packages from bzr trunk (revision 412). Everything seems to
  be working except for the install_efi() method. Unless I modify that
  method to return early it always fails with the "Failed to install the
  EFI bootloader" error message.

  The DVD images I download from cdimage.ubuntu.com contain the path

  /EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI

  This is also the path on the mounted USB stick after usb-creator
  finishes copying the files from the ISO.

  In usbcreator/install.py the existence of this file is checked using a
  lowercase path. I gather that this check is failing, so it attempts to
  create the file. This then fails because the target filesystem is
  FAT32.
