Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: usb-creator

Ubuntu 10.10

usb-creator-gtk:
  Installed: 0.2.25
  Candidate: 0.2.25
  Version table:
 *** 0.2.25 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


When creating a boot usb, the tool fails silently to write the boot partition 
of the USB drive if it does not have permission.  Running "gksudo 
usb-creator-gtk" solves this issue and correctly generates a bootable usb.

Expected: usb-creator-gtk should request privilege escalation if not
started with sufficient permissions
