I've been trying to create one recently, under 14.04 running the
lts-utopic kernel. It seems the old problem of flushing is back. When I
run "dd if=ubuntu-14.04.1-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdg bs=4096" it exits almost
immediately, and then the LED on the USB spends the next several minutes
flashing constantly as if data is being written. When it is done
however, it seems I can't actually boot from it.
I want to re-install my laptop, using UEFI only (ideally with secure
boot, but I don't know if it is possible), and full disk encryption, but
I just can't seem to get a working bootable USB stick made. :-/
