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

As for a work around, I have started running USB Creator as root to avoid having to be present and authenticate to prevent installation failure.
sudo usb-creator-gtk
