Title:
  Vivid usb-creator fails to install bootloader

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had previously just considered this same_as bug #1338528, but it's
  now marked as a duplicate of bug #1330165 which is Fix Released, so
  I'm reporting this as a new bug since I'm trying to use Vivid to
  create a Vivid live USB. The Vivid version of usb-creator constantly
  fails to successfully create a Vivid live USB at the point of
  installing the bootloader.
