USB Drive box is empty on 8.04 with all packages installed

[Luke Faraone]

Even when all the dependancy packages (used packages from prior releases) are installed, USB media disks arn't detected in the drop down menu on hardy.

Are you running UNetbootin as root? If not, try running the application as root (using sudo), is the USB device listed now?

[Luke Faraone (lfaraone)]

Yes, it is.

It'd be nice if unetbootin shot up a gksu/ksu prompt if it needed root, since that isn't clear in the directions.

[Geza Kovacs (gezakovacs)]

I'll have root detection, gksu/kdesu detection, and sudo prompting via gksu/kdesu (or a warning dialog if neither are available) in the next release.

[Luke Faraone (lfaraone)]

Great. I'd help, but I'm not too good at C++.

[Geza Kovacs (gezakovacs)]

Should now be fixed as of the latest released version (based off revision 201). Marking bug as fixed.

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 12.10, iv'e tried with two different versions and with sudo and doesn't work.

[Fernando Janousek (fernando-janousek)]

Same problem on two different machines, one running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit and one running Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit, with two different external USB drives. On Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit I am running 581 from the UNetbootin site; on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit I am running 575 from the Universe repository.

Any ideas for troubleshooting I could do?
