Ubuntu
unetbootin package

unetbootin only shows root in file browse window in 12.04

Asked by Clinton Bridge

Hi,
I installed unetbootin using the software center on my laptop.
I launch the application and put in the admins password as expected.
once the application is running I select DiskImage and press the browse button.
only computer and root are shown.
So I am unable to access my ISO files.

The program worked perfectly fine on my desktop computer, running 12.04 also.

I do not know why the difference,
any help would be great
thanks

You have to go to "Computer" then double click to / , then home then your username and you will find your .iso.

If it runs as root, it will start at root's home. If you open a terminal and run:

unetbootin

It should run as user and show your home folder.
