Title:
  live image does not boot: "Missing parameter in configuration file"

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Triaged
Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I created a bootable thumb drive from kubuntu-15.04-beta1-desktop-
  amd64.iso (using usb-creator-gtk on an Ubuntu 14.04.2 system) and used
  it to boot an HP EliteBook 8440p.

  The HP displayed the message
          Missing parameter in configuration file. Keyword: path
  and then repeatedly displayed
          gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R image
          boot:

  I entered the command "help", and then Enter after the help menu
  displayed. This lead to successful a start-up.
