etcher: Creating bootable USB corrupts the key

I have a 16GB USB dongle, classic. Using other tools to load a ubuntu image onto it creates a 16GB partition with about 1.5GB used, and it’s called “Ubuntu <version><arch>” or similar.

Here, it “seems” to do the same, but it doesn’t:

• lsblk -l:

  sdd    8:48   1  14,6G  0 disk 
  sdd1   8:49   1   1,1G  0 part /media/vankasteelj/Ubuntu 15.10 amd64
  sdd2   8:50   1   2,2M  0 part 

• gparted:

(keep in mind it’s a 16GB key, not 64 like etcher seemed to write it.)

• libparted log:

Driver descriptor indicates a physical bloc size of 2048 bytes, but Linux says 512 bytes.

somehow, that key does boot x)
