Title:
  Usb-creator-gtk crashes after pushing the Make startup disk button

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

Bug description:
  Whether I use my laptop running 13.04 or my desktop PC running 13.10,
  I am unable to create a bootable USB drive from any ISO image, even
  images like 9.04 that used to work fine.

  - I tried multiple USB keys
  - I checked MD5 sums
  - Unetbootbin does the job

  There is no specific error shown on the command line and the message
  is only "Installation failed"

  The error shows up straight away without a delay after pressing the
  "Make startup disk" button.

  UPDATE 1: I found the error log in ~/.cache and the error is
  "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position
  31: ordinal not in range(128)". I tried launching the app with the
  command "LANG=en_US.utf8 usb-creator-gtk" and I get the exact same
  error (my system is running with the fr_FR.UTF-8 locale)
