[Bug 943235] Re: System policy prevents installing the bootloader is nonsense
Thanks caspar, reopening. ** Description changed: usb-creator-gtk 0.2.34, Ubuntu 11.10 + Ubuntu 14.04 Perhaps it does not always appear, but sometimes a PolicyKit alert appears saying System policy prevents installing the bootloader ... Authentication as the super user is required to perform this action. This is not about the alert appearing at all (bug 859539), it is about the text. You should never say System policy prevents something in an alert that exists solely to let you do that thing. And you should never say Authentication as the super user is required on an operating system that doesn't have a super user. ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943235 Title: System policy prevents installing the bootloader is nonsense To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/943235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
