Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator alias usb-creator-gtk

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi abhieud,

The new usb-creator-gtk version 0.3.2 is only available in Xenial Xerus 
(to be released as 16.04 LTS). It is not available in 14.04, but I hope 
it will be SRU'd soon.

-o-

It is possible to *test* it in 14.04 with some workarounds:

A. Add a repository with the new version:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and add the line

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main

and save the file.

B. Update:

sudo apt-get update

C. Install:

sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk

Now you can test it :-)

D. In order to avoid confusion later on, you should remove the line:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main

from the file /etc/apt/sources.list

E. Update again:

sudo apt-get update

I tested it in a live session of a Lubuntu 14.04.2, Lubuntu trusty-daily 
iso file, and Ubuntu 15.04, and it works for me.

Good luck :-)
Nio
