While sdc now works well it creates partitioning/formatting that the default installed Disks app cannot deal with. This will make it hard for users to return the usb drive to use as a storage device after using to install *buntu.
Test case:
Create a boot/install drive with sdc.
Open Disks app & try to format the drive to a usable storage format or try to delete either of the 2 partitions sdc created.
What happens : operations fail, see attached screens.

One method that works requires users to install gparted, dismiss the error popups (disconcerting), then figure out they need to create a fresh partition table.
