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

[komputes]

The issue where usb-creator fails if the user is not there to
authenticate promptly to "Installing the boot loader" password prompt is
also discussed in Bug #859539 and Bug #722019. It seems to depend on
MAX_DBUS_TIMEOUT.

File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/usbcreator/install.py", line 215, in
install_bootloader timeout=MAX_DBUS_TIMEOUT)

Is there any way this could be changed to avoid this time out?

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
