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

[George]

Same issue today after update. Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS - Error: An uncaught exception was raised:
unorderable types: NoneType() <= str()

kernel 3.13.0-51-generic #84-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 15 12:11:46 UTC 2015
i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

usb-creator-gtk --version
0.2.23


Trying to use an old pmagic_2013_08_01.iso on 4GB Transcend flash drive

Same result with or without reserved extra space (persistence)

Erase disk works as expected

Title:
  Compares NoneType() and str(), hence fails to make bootable usb

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Ubuntu version: 13.04 with all updates

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open usb-creator-gtk or usb-creator-kde
  2. Browse required iso and try to make a usb bootable
  3. Then just after it starts copying files, an error dialog box with following message appears.
  "An uncaught exception was raised: unorderable types: NoneType() <= str()"
  In gtk version dialog box title is "Installation failed", in kde it is "Error - startup disk creator".
