It took me a day to get a Live UEFI ubuntu to work from a USB stick on my Lenovo U430 and another day to find a working solution to make a partition on the USB and make it persistent too.
Gparted got me crazy! How can I have to return to Windows just to partition a USB stick!!! So I found a tip on a blog saying this: "it works with Ubuntu 12.04" so I downloaded a Virtualbox image, fixed UI configuration, updated and install gparted, and bingo, it worked! Reading on the Gparted page, you can see release notes that version 0.23.0 key changes include: "Prevent UI hang when resizing FAT16/32, HFS and HFS+ file systems"...so please update repository Ubuntu team and avoid all these bug reports.
