How to install UNetbootin in ubuntu
UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions from Windows or Linux, without requiring you to burn a CD. You can either let it download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you’ve already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn’t on the list.
UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive, or it can make a “frugal install” on your local hard disk if you don’t have a USB drive. It can load distributions by automatically downloading their ISO (CD image) files, or by using existing ISO files, floppy/hard disk images, or kernel/initrd files, for installing other distributions.

Option1:For Ubuntu 9.10 and higher,just run following three commands in Applications->Accessories->Terminal to install UNetbootin from PPA:

For 9.04 or later, you just need to execute:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gezakovacs/ppa
and then,
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unetbootin
(as stated here: https://launchpad.net/~gezakovacs/+archive/ppa)

Sounds like you miss GPG key.For no_pubkey problem,you can read:http://ubuntuguide.net/fixing-out-apt-i-gpg-errorno_pubkey.
BTW:In Ubuntu 10.04(Lucid),you can install UNetbootin just by three commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gezakovacs/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unetbootin
