UNetbootin fails to create bootable LiveUSB for 13.04 ISOs

[amjjawad ]

I have asked this: https://answers.launchpad.net/unetbootin/+question/227885
It got expired.

No matter what ISO I use (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu-GNOME, etc), UNetbootin fails to create a bootable LiveUSB for 13.04 ISO Ubuntu Based Systems.

I have tried:
Ubuntu 13.04
Xubuntu 13.04
Lubuntu 13.04
Ubuntu-GNOME 13.04

Same goes for 32bit and 64bit (does not matter which version, both will fail).

UNetbootin is a very handy and useful tool and with this issue, it is harder for new comers to create LiveUSB.

For me, I do the 'dd' approach but 'dd' might be less friendly for new users :)

By the way, same goes for Saucy ISOs. I am a tester for many Ubuntu Flavors and I can't create LiveUSB using UNetbootin.

Thank you!

P.S.
Same goes for Windows Version of UNetbootin so it is not only with the Linux Version.

The unetbootin in the archives is quite old, can you try testing with the latest upstream version.

@Tim

That did not change anything, I'm afraid :(

I haven't yet tested/tried that on 13.04 ISOs but with 13.10, the NEW Version of UNetbootin works like a charm - http://launchpad.net/~gezakovacs/+archive/ppa

Thanks, Tim :)
