[Bug 789242] [NEW] Startup Disk Creator requiring multiple authentications.

[Ronnie McMaster]

Public bug reported:

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
