[Bug 1208129] Re: Compares NoneType() and str(), hence fails to make bootable usb

[Erik Squires]

I need to update the firmware on my Crucial M500 ssd drive.  To do that
I must create a bootable USB drive.   There's no way I can due to this
bug.

Steps:

1.  Run Startup Disk creator from menu. 
2.  Select ISO.  
3.  Select USB drive if not already selected. 

Try to burn.

Boom.
