Package: gnome-disk-utility
Version: 3.10.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
When trying to format an external USB device using gnome-disks it fails with
the following message:
Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object
(udisks-error-quark, 0)
This bug has been reported for some time in Ubuntu too:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/1059872
Steps to reproduce:
- Insert device with some free space left (non-formatted). In this case I was
using a 4GB device previous dd'ed with Live Debian 7.2 (Gnome) with ~2.7 GB free
- Start disk utility
- Choose the device, then the free partition
- Choose to add a partition, any format (I tried FAT 32, ext4 and
LUKS+encrypted - this last one required installed parted)
- Disk utility fails with the above mentioned message

Given the lack of followup and complete lack of information to
be able to debug this issue I'm closing this bug report again.
