Same problem here, using Kubuntu 14.04. Tested the usb disk creator by
launching it from the command line. This is the output:

On a side note, the drive I am trying to erase is completely free, but
the "Make Startup Disk" button is disabled. I tried filling it with an
empty fat32, ntfs or ext4 partition and I tried with no partitions at
all, but the button is always disabled.

Hope this helps.

Title:
  org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply when erasing a pendrive

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

Bug description:
  I fire up the usb startup disk creator, insert a pendrive. It's
  recognized. It doesn't have enough space.

  I click "erase". It starts to do something, the LED on the pendrive blinks a few times and I see a spinning wheel on the "Erasing" button. After a while, a big error message pops up:
  """
  org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
