I get to the very end of creating the bootable and I get the following message:

Installation Failed - An uncaught exception was raised: Invalid version string 'GNU/Linux'

I'm using 'startup disk creator' on Ubuntu 12.04. A search on the web found this:

http://code.google.com/p/ubuntu-builder/issues/detail?id=13

Could the lack of quotes in the Tails version string be the issue?

Hi,

Try tools at pendrivelinux.com

or:

  1. Use Virtualbox
  2. Boot Tails iso
  3. Make sure VB sees your USB
  4. Use the TAILS USB Creator

--No problems using either way.

'startup disk creator' is not a supported installation method. See download.
