[Bug 859539] Re: usb-creator-gtk fails to install bootloader: "System policy prevents installing the bootloader"

[sdowney717]

I just tried it again and does not work.
unetbootin completes without error.

Then when I boot the thumb drive, it dumps me at a busybox prompt after
i tell it to boot from the first drive. Telling it to 'try ubuntu' and
it sits and sits and sits and sits and sits and sits. Then you pull the
power plug and go eat dinner and wonder what happened.

Title:
  usb-creator-gtk fails to install bootloader: "System policy prevents
  installing the bootloader"

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When creating USB stick from Ubuntu CD ISO image (or any other
  bootable CD ISO image for that matter) upon finishing copying files
  onto the USB stick I am getting an error message "System policy
  prevents installing the bootloader"followed by password prompt. When I
  enter the password, I get an error message "Failed to install
  bootloader". The result is the USB stick with all necessary files on
  it, but it is not bootable. I do have all administrative rights for
  the account I am using.

  And if I start usb-creator-gtk from a command line after "sudo -s" it
  crashes with a segmentation fault just after copying files onto the
  USB stick.
