[Bug 1302295] Re: usb-creator-gtk errors during app startup

[Charles McColm]

As Jan Rathmann mentioned this issue went away for me when I removed a
video DVD (not mounted). Interestingly the issue popped up whether I had
a USB key in or not. Some drives were on my desktop, but not mounted. In
my case I have a blueray player (not DVD player).

Title:
  usb-creator-gtk errors during app startup

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I upgraded my Ubuntu 14.04 installation today with the latest patches.
  I consistently receive the following error when I attempt to startup
  the "Startup Disk Creator" utility.  This issue is not related to
  similar issues I read related to a particular mounted USB device... I
  did not have any USB devices mounted when I receive this error.

  Error message:

  An unhandled exception occured:
