DeviceKitBackend Error add_image is not implemented

[Tony Espy]

Binary package hint: usb-creator

I'm trying to burn a USB stick with today's daily Karmic ISO image, however it doesn't want to let me add an ISO to be converted.

The steps I followed are:

1. insert a 2GB USB stick
2. run System : Admin : USB Startup Disk Creator
3. click "Other"
4. select the Karmic UNR daily image located in ~/desktop
5. click "Open"

I'm returned to the main "Make Startup Disk" window, and the selected ISO is not displayed.

If I run the command "usb-creator-gtk" from a terminal, I see the following error output:

espy@zappa:% usb-creator-gtk

Starting usb-creator-gtk by passing image ISO argument.

usb-creator-gtk -i <path_to_iso >

Looks like there is no DeviceKit implementation for ISO image source.

i can confirm this,even usb-creator-kde is not working : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/421206

More of the problem with DeviceKit backend hence it effects both kde/gnome frontend UI.

I have the latest updates as of this morning.
As soon as I click the menu to start the USB startup dis creator, I immediately get this error:

An unhandled exception occurred:
Duplicate object id 'alignment3' on line 630 (previously on line 287)

The only option is the close button.
