USB Creator only working from CLI Ubuntu 11.10

[Andy Bleaden]

Cannot seem to get USB Creator working directly from menu.

Have to use terminal via sudo usb-creator-gtk

Some occassions even this this has not been successful in producing bootable images

Used this tool for many years now since it first appeared but never even had this error

If I use without cli it throws back error
org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.dbus.exceptions.DBusException: com.ubuntu.USBCreator.Error.NotAuthorized

Tried using Ubuntu 11.10 .iso and Ubuntu 12.04 test iso both of which work using unetbootin etc but no longer with usb-creator

I can also confirm that the last build (seen on the USB Creator log attached ) did not build successfully

When inserted into Lenovo Netbook and booted to F12 and USb source selected the device failed to boot and directed straight to grub on the original system on the netbook (running Ubuntu 12.04 alpha)

Same problem here. usb-creator-gtk wants root access (not available from the menu) One it runs, it produces an unbootable usb stick belonging to root.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
