Comment 13 for bug 722019

I found this thread as the first and only reference to a work-around, so I dare resurrecting it.
I had successfully used usb-creator-gtk many times until now, but today it refused to install the bootloader. Today I let it sit and do its thing while checking back after a while, finding I had to give my sudo password. So quickly I entered it and hit enter which failed three times in a row.
The work-around was -- as Denis-Carl Robidoux (deniscarl) wrote on 2012-11-22 -- to enter the password slowly and not hitting enter immediately. Funny, eyh? :)
