sudo cp /var/packages/UsbEject/conf/privilege.root /var/packages/UsbEject/conf/privilegeAlternative to SSH: Go to Control Panel => Task Scheduler => Create => Scheduled Task => User-defined Script. In the "General" tab set any task name, select 'root' as user. In the "Task Settings" tab enter
cp /var/packages/UsbEject/conf/privilege.root /var/packages/UsbEject/conf/privilegeas "Run command". Finish it with OK. When you are requested to execute that command now during package installation, then go to the task scheduler, select that task and "Run" it.
