[Bug 789242] Re: Startup Disk Creator requiring multiple authentications.

[Ronnie McMaster]

Doug, the problem isn't so much that a password has to be entered 3
times, but if one isn't present to do it promptly, then it will fail. If
this is the planned action the developers want, then it will probably
push more people to stop using it and to use Unetbootin.

As mentioned in post #2, I am running it as root, which seems to go
without a hitch.

Title:
  Startup Disk Creator requiring multiple authentications.

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  Whenever I use the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator, I have to sit by the
  PC and enter my password at least twice or it will fail if I am not
  there to authenticate installing the boot loader promptly. I do not
  see the purpose any requiring authentication to write to a USB drive,
  but don't mind doing so once.

  Please fix this so that folks only have to authenticate once.

  Thanks,
  uRock
