ubuntu13onusb.bash
Had to install ubuntu on a usb drive when my hard drive crashed.
Seems like in ubuntu 13.10, the usb-creator-gtk is corrupted. I followed a few instructions at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick and finally managed to install ubuntu on a usb drive.
This is waht had to be done before running startup disk creator
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jmarsden/lubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk
Now run startup disk creator. It succeeds.
There also seems to be another way to do it using unetbootin
