Description of problem: Unetbootin requires super user permissions but the package doesn't make sure unetbootin has these. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # $ rpm -q unetbootin unetbootin-0-8.494bzr.fc14.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 14 2. Install unetbootin (su -c "yum install unetbootin") 3. Start unetbootin (Applications => System => Unetbootin) Actual results: 4. A dialog pops up, telling me it has to be run as root. "Unetbootin must be run as root. Close it, and re-run using either: sudo /usr/bin/unetbootin or: su -c '/usr/bin/unetbootin" Expected results: 4. A dialog pops up, asking for root permissions and after getting those, unetbootin just works. Additional info: Beesu can be used to achieve this pretty easily. I propose to add a package dependency on "beesu" and to change the command of unetbootin's .desktop file to prepend "beesu" to automatically ask for permissions.
I'm not going to add more dependencies. The dialog is enough, although the su command in the prompt is invalid (see bug #658747 and bug #671044). If you have kdebase-runtime installed, unetbootin will automatically run kdesu.
