[Bug 1446646] Re: Vivid usb-creator fails to install bootloader

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Right, this explodes because the architecture you're running on doesn't
allow starting executables of the architecture you're trying to burn on
the USB disk.

Thanks for filing this bug, this is a genuine issue that we had not
anticipated in the other bug you linked -- marking Triaged/High.

For now, you may wish to use dd to create these images; for example:
$ dd if=ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdz bs=512

Will write the image to the USB device directly -- remember to make sure
you pick the right device instead of /dev/sdz which should be your USB
disk; since dd will happily write the contents of the image where you
tell it to without confirmation. If you pick the wrong disk, you can say
bye-bye to your data now.

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.
