Version 8.3.0 is released. multibootusb is not depends on ou may want to remove it.

I am considering to add gksu as a dependency. This application requires admin privileges; so -in order to grant them- pkexec is called so that the user can enter his/her password. The problem is that pkexec keeps returning the following error: Starting multibootusb GUI... QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display /usr/sbin/multibootusb-pkexec: line 6: 3189 Aborted (core dumped) pkexec --disable-internal-agent "/usr/bin/multibootusb" "$@" and if I run "pkexec multibootusb", then I get only: Starting multibootusb GUI... QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display Aborted (core dumped) A workaround would be using gksudo [which is part of gksu] instead of pkexec. I could modify the menu launcher to do so. I'm open to suggestions.

The actual path to multibootusb executable ' /usr/sbin/multibootusb' and path specified in '/usr/sbin/multibootusb-pkexec' & 'org.debian.pkexec.run-multibootusb.policy' are different. Both the files will have path to executable as '/usr/bin/multibootusb' However, you need to correct it as '/usr/sbin/multibootusb' in both the files. This should solve the error you are getting.

If you have an error «PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/share/multibootusb/data/version.txt'» then you need execute: sudo chmod +r /usr/share/multibootusb/data/version.txt and then again yaourt -S multibootusb

PKGBUILD Updated and bumped to 8.2.0. Still having problems when launching multibootusb from the menu and from the terminal [calling the executable /usr/sbin/multibootusb-pkexec]. Workaround: Run multibootusb from the terminal with either "sudo multibootusb" or "gksudo multibootusb"

OK. I updated the PKGBUILD for MultiBootUSB. I added some dependencies. I also changed permissions to the file multibootusb.desktop [as requested by satriani]. On my end it built and installed correctly. I just have a few observations to make: 1. Remove any old version before installing this one. 2. For some reason I can't yet understand, the executable ["multibootusb-pkexec"] gives me the following error [when ran from the terminal]: Starting multibootusb GUI... QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display /usr/sbin/multibootusb-pkexec: line 6: 3189 Aborted (core dumped) pkexec --disable-internal-agent "/usr/bin/multibootusb" "$@" I think it has something to do with QT5 and pkexec. [I'm] Not sure. 3. If you want to run it properly use one of the following commands instead: sudo multibootusb gksudo multibootusb Let me know if you can find a solution to this or if something else comes up.

Really odd. Last time I built and checked this package [and after a few minor corrections to the PKGBUILD] it went through flawlessly. Now I encounter more errors. I honestly don't know where they all come from. I'm trying to solve the ones that I have encountered. According to https://github.com/mbusb/multibootusb, this version now depends on: mtools, util-linux, parted, python3-qt5 [which is provided by python-pyqt5], python-dbus, and pkexec [which is provided by polkit].

AdrianoML commented on 2016-11-23 15:12 (UTC)

This package is full of problems, missing dependencies for python3/python3-pyqt5 and plenty of files with missing read permission.
