Public bug reported: This is a wishlist bug. Currently
http://www.ubuntu.com/download nicely describes how a user can create Ubuntu installation USB stick using usb-creator. What it does not mention is that you need to be an admin to create the USB stick since /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.usbcreator.policy has "auth_admin_keep" set. This is unfortunate since it means that users can not create Ubuntu installation USB sticks on computers where they do not have admin privileges (think university class rooms, libraries, work places where people are not given root privileges to their desktops). Please consider if this could be relaxed to at least to allow local users to create such installation media. ** Affects: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000268 Title: please consider letting non-admins create ubuntu installation USB stick To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1000268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
