Bug Description

I just tried using the usb startup disk creator in 15.10 to create a usb boot stick, and after copying the files, it said that it failed to install the boot loader. After clicking OK and closing it down, I am unable to unmount the usb stick apparently because it associated a loop device with both the .iso image and the squashfs.filesystem on the usb stick, and left these open.
