[Bug 859539] [NEW] usb-creator-gtk fails to install bootloader: "System policy prevents installing the bootloader"

[Lex Ross]

Public bug reported:

When creating USB stick from Ubuntu CD ISO image (or any other bootable
CD ISO image for that matter) upon finishing copying files onto the USB
stick I am getting an error message "System policy prevents installing
the bootloader"followed by password prompt. When I enter the password, I
get an error message "Failed to install bootloader". The result is the
USB stick with all necessary files on it, but it is not bootable. I do
have all administrative rights for the account I am using.
