Here is what is shown in /var/log/syslog when nothing happens after clicking "Format...":

Each of them has just one partition. The devices/partitions are visible in nautilus on the left hand side. I want to format them, so I do a right click on the device/partition in nautilus and select "Format...". In response, NOTHING happens. It's the same thing with both partitions. My expectation would be that a window opens allowing me for different options of formatting, like file system type and encryption options.
