Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

In the Live session I am not permitted to transfer data from an installed OS to the new installation with out being the Super User.

This is just silly. I would like the old nautilus behavior back in the Live session to make setting up a new install easier. Yes I can boot to the new install and do this.

I multi boot and may well be doing several installs at once, going from CD to CD. I need to be able to copy/paste to several installations at once with ease.

I just checked and can't even do this as SU. Now this is a big problem on a multi boot system. I am not permitted to install my custom menu.

This is a very bad thing.

I'm afriad this report is too vague to be understood. What exactly are you trying to copy and how? What exactly is the error you are getting?
