erikzenker: About the error: ValueError: Namespace Unity not available I just commented the line 28 of the file /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/unitysupport.py. And work just fine.

So I installed this and got, like the others, the " ValueError: Namespace Unity not available" error. I looked a bit in the code and found the problem.

FIX:

change the line 28 in ..site-packages/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/unitysupport.py

from

except ImportError as e:

to

except (ImportError, ValueError) as e:

EXPLANATION:

In ..site-packages/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/unitysupport.py it checks if the Unity environment (the former Ubuntu desktop environment) is running and therefore calls require_versions('Unity', '7.0') in a try block that has an except block for exceptions of type "ImportError". BUT require_versions (..site-packages/gi/init.py:92) throws an exception of type ValueError.

THIS PACKAGE SHOULD BE UPDATED

I also looked up the current version of usbcreator from upstream (https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/usb-creator/trusty/view/head:/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/unitysupport.py) and there the require_versions check was completely deleted. Maybe it would help to just update this package to the current version of the code instead of wildly patching in it :-)

I also get the error of the previous comment: ... ValueError: Namespace Unity not available

Strange, I had to manually install python-debian although it is correctly listed as a dependency.

Updated to 0.2.67 - http://git.io/vTjWd The KDE/QT frontend has been updated to use QT5. I have used a less aggressive patch to pass the included Ubuntu version check now. This should allow us to write images prior to 10.10 now, however, I have not tested it. Btw. they have added the functionality to use the bundled syslinux of the iso image to write the bootloader on the usb drive. While this might work most of the times, i can think of issues when you try to use it with different architectures (for example writing an amd64 image under i686). Because this takes precedence, a locally installed version is not used.

@tomx3: it already optdepends on 'kdebindings-python' for the kde frontend, which depends on 'python-pyqt4', which depends on 'python-sip'. So it should not be needed...
