Same problem here, using Kubuntu 14.04. Tested the usb disk creator by launching it from the command line. This is the output: marco@marco-laptop:~$ sudo usb-creator-kde [sudo] password for marco: Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-marco" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.

I tried filling it with an empty fat32, ntfs or ext4 partition and I tried with no partitions at all, but the button is always disabled.
