This bug wasn't present at the previous 13.04 version. Only after a full install with the ISO downloaded at July, 15 this happened. Also UNetbootin will ask for the Administrative password but, although the password is correct, the program reports it as incorrect every time untill it cancels running after 3 attempts.

I have uninstalled UNetbootin and this bug appears during this process too. I'm using Puppy Precise 5.6.1 to be able to use UNetbootin so i can test other distros. This is essential to me and if Ubuntu cannot use UNetbootin then i cannot use Ubuntu, although i really love it. I know i can resort to Puppy Precise but this is far from optimal. Also i cannot expect to convince other Windows XP users to change to Linux/Ubuntu if the system starts off by having this kind of bugs. Also this bug is still "Unassigned". Thanks anyway.
