Startup Disk Creator fail: An uncaught exception was raised: Invalid version string 'GNU/Linux'
I've tried with two different USB sticks, three different .iso images, and on two different machines running Trisquel 6.
Each time, the following error:
An uncaught exception was raised:
Invalid version string 'GNU/Linux'
Looks like it's an ubuntu bug:

SHould I install unetbootin, or is there another way?
successfully used the command line method
sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M;sync
easier tbh :)
thanks!

trisquel is a hybrid CD/USB. You can use "sudo -i" then "cat foo.iso > /dev/sdX" where X is your USB drive [don't use a partition number!]
