Ubuntu has a nice and simple .img image writer to burn your img to flash disk drive
 
Open a terminal and run the following command
 
sudo apt-get install usb-imagewriter
 
This will install image writer. 
 
Goto Applicatioons - Accessories - ImageWriter and launch it.
 
Select a file and the flash drive and hit write. Enjoy!
