In my experience, the front usb ports of desktop pcs are often prone to flaky behavior, especially if they're part of panel with a card reader and such, so I never trust them with anything more important than simple file copying. I have the micro-usb cable always attached to one of the ports in the back.

I faced the issue a year back.I think Ubuntu is not the issue here because I always does the flash with my trusty ubuntu. What you have to check is ..
whether

1.the data cable is good or not.
2.the battery is in a good state.
3.as sixwheeledbeast said , change the usb port.

This is why I tried this.
One thing I noticed was the bus and device addresses.

Code:
##Front USB 3.0
user@crash:~/maemo$ sudo flasher-3.5 -i
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)
USB device found found at bus 006, device address 047.
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2204
NOLO version 1.4.14
Version of 'sw-release': RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_MR0

##Rear USB 2.0
user@crash:~/maemo$ sudo flasher-3.5 -i
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)
USB device found found at bus 002, device address 017.
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2204
NOLO version 1.4.14
Version of 'sw-release': RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_MR0
IIRC on the front ones the device address changes on each emmc flash attempt on the rear this didn't happen.
