A few notes: 1.) There's no scrollbar to scroll the list. It only appears upon scrolling with a mouse wheel which is kind of useless. 2.) It would be nice if the release list was configurable (think /usr/lib/liveusb-creator/releases.d + /etc/liveusb-creator/releases.d instead of hardcoded in releases.py). That way the default installations could bring in the Fedora distributions while an add-on packages could add CentOS, RPM Fusion, etc. 3.) I've launched liveusb-creator_polkit. However it doesn't seem to employ policykit -- the UI itself runs as root! The inconvenient side -effect is that the file picker is not entirely relevant and I have hard time finding the ISO file I've downloaded. 4.) The dependency on udisks is missing and the error is not handled gracefully. The following tracebacks appears on the console: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/liveusb/gui.py", line 830, in USBDeviceEnumerationStart self.live.detect_removable_drives(callback=self.USBDeviceCallback) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/liveusb/creator.py", line 519, in detect_removable_drives "/org/freedesktop/UDisks") File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 241, in get_object follow_name_owner_changes=follow_name_owner_changes) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 248, in __init__ self._named_service = conn.activate_name_owner(bus_name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 180, in activate_name_owner self.start_service_by_name(bus_name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 278, in start_service_by_name 'su', (bus_name, flags))) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.UDisks was not provided by any .service files The UI is just not able to find the flash drive. 5.) The error handling seems messed up. When I hit the write button, there's no error in the UI, but the following is in the console: [gui:246] (u'T', u'h', u'e', u'r', u'e', u' ', u'i', u's', u' ', u'n', u'o', u't', u' ', u'e', u'n', u'o', u'u', u'g', u'h', u' ', u'f', u'r', u'e', u'e', u' ', u's', u'p', u'a', u'c', u'e', u' ', u'o', u'n', u' ', u't', u'h', u'e', u' ', u's', u'e', u'l', u'e', u'c', u't', u'e', u'd', u' ', u'd', u'e', u'v', u'i', u'c', u'e', u'.', u' ', u'R', u'e', u'q', u'u', u'i', u'r', u'e', u'd', u':', u' ', u'1', u'0', u'5', u'6', u'M', u'B', u'.', u' ', u'F', u'r', u'e', u'e', u':', u' ', u'7', u'0', u'2', u'M', u'B', u'.')

[creator:548] Skipping non-usb drive: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda1 6.) The "write image immediately after download" makes no sense for a local ISO, yet it's present.
