Unable to start: Config is not defined
I have tried the latest version, 9.1.0, and I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/multibootusb", line 174, in <module> if config.debug is True: NameError: name 'config' is not defined
So, I tried an earlier version, 8.9.0, yet I still get the same error, just on a different line:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/multibootusb", line 164, in <module> if config.debug is True: NameError: name 'config' is not defined
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and installed both versions using the install.py script. I originally tried installing using the deb package, but the install failed and I don't have the error now.
Don't install using install.py. Remove the old install and try running directly from source.

I'm still not able to run it. I'm getting
Traceback (most recent call last): File "./multibootusb", line 174, in <module> if config.debug is True: NameError: name 'config' is not defined
when I run ./multibootusb from the root of the source folder.
Did you prefix python3 before multibootusb?

I just tried that. Same error, although my version of python is 2.7.12
I do have version 3.5 of python installed on the system and I'm still getting the same error when I run the command with like this:
python3 ./multibootusb
What do you see in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/scripts/? I still believe that you have installed multibootusb in python2.7. You need to remove old install before trying the new method.
I only show 1 directory, __pycache__, in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/scripts
I've tried running it from the source directory, and I get the same error:

Some how the python import is not working for you. Could you please tell us the name of distro?
What is your host OS
Funtoo GNU+Linux.
and DE
I seriously doubt this would matter, but it's XMonad.
Any relevant info in /var/log/{syslog|messages}
No.
And is the service, either udisks or udisks2 running?
No. udisks isn't installed either.
No. udisks isn't installed either.
I think this is the cause of the error since mbusb uses udisksd through dbus to mount the target usb device and the interface is probed during module loading by the following statement
UDISKS = udisks.get_udisks(ver=None)
in scripts/usb.py. Will you enable either of the udisks services, preferably udisks2, and see if the problem goes away though setup may not be trivial? (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udisks)
I think this is the cause of the error since mbusb uses udisksd through dbus to mount the target usb device and the interface is probed during module loading by the following statement
This is not mentioned as a dependency. Additionally, the supposed error reporting is very LTA.
I was originally looking for something small and simple to accomplish a reasonable task, but now it seems this project isn't the solution for me.

Please apply the patch shown above or use devel branch on github and examine the traceback. If you get the same traceback as shown above, you'll have to tweak OS configuration so that disks can be mounted/umounted by udisks/udisks2 daemon through dbus interface. I don't know yet exact configuration steps you should take though. It seems udisk/disks2 is enabled by default in many distros.
Thanks for the help! I ran:
git clone https://github.com/mbusb/multibootusb
cd multibootusb
git branch devel
git checkout devel
sudo python3 install.py
sudo multibootusb
However it still outputs:

Let me know if i missed a step. It looks like my Arch install did not have udisk2 installed. I installed it and started the daemon, but alas i am getting the same error.
Please don't install. Remove the install and execute run directly from source and check if the issue persist.

Please verify that ImportError is caught at the beginning of multibootusb script. Then instead of
sudo multibootusb
does
sudo ./multibootusb
or
sudo python3 multibootusb
make difference? (Even if either of these works, you are still advised to remove previous installations.)
@shinji-s which "many distros" are you talking about? It's not enabled in any of the OSs I'm using, which include Funtoo, Archlinux, Ubuntu and FreeBSD.
Judging from the amount of issues raised about mbusb not starting and of those about unexpected behavior after it has started, it seems to me that many distros have udisks enabled. I'm running mbusb on Ubuntu 16.04.4 and debian 9 without explicitly installing/enabling udisks. According the author, neither Fedora or Suse in addition to a debian did not exhibit the problem.
I just double-checked my (only) Ubuntu box, which is at 16.04.4, and it does not contain udisks. It feels like it just gets pulled in as a dependency for many people, but is not enabled as a default.
It's also not referred to in the documentation about dependencies, which it should, no matter if it's a default on some rare distros or not. Additionally, the error it shows is unrelated to what is actually amiss and seems to bring more confusion than actually aiding the user to solve it.
It feels like it just gets pulled in as a dependency for many people, but is not enabled as a default.
That is likely. I'll check next time I have chance to do clean installation.
Additionally, the error it shows is unrelated to what is actually amiss and seems to bring more confusion than actually aiding the user to solve it.
A valid criticism. I appreciate if you try devel branch and see if https://github.com/mbusb/multibootusb/pull/358 correctly address your concern.

apt-cache rdepends udisks2 shows a lot of packages. I'll see which one(s) of them I have installed.

I ran from source but having the same issue as before (NameError: name 'config' is not defined):

git branch devel
git checkout devel
Change release and pyinstall directory (/usr/bin/pyinstall)
sudo python3 build_pkg run
