As an example of how an Ub DE live boot has more power to install to a 
USB, here are instructions for using a live hybrid to install to USB.

The greater power comes from the ability to use GPartEd to manipulate 
the partition table, and to further use the more 'powerful' installation 
manager (not more powerful because it is graphical, but more powerful 
because it can do more things than the text based server installer, at 
least in my hands), and the graphical installer allows the user to 
direct installation of the boot manager, which the text installer does not,

I would also remark, which I haven't yet figured out how to research 
further, the USB which was the result of the attempted install of the Ub 
server is not seen by GPartEd nor to fdisk -l nor the the Nemo file 
manager  including remove reinsert and couple of times.
