[Bug 1294877] Re: Error erasing device: Unknown or unsupported erase type `'
I can confirm that the bug exists (and has a simple workaround). Mine is an updated UbuntuMate (15.04) and while trying to create a new Bootable USB pen drive got the same error. As mentioned elsewhere, opened up the pen drive in fdisk, removed all partitions, created one partition as 'c' type (VFAT ...), exit, mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1. Now when I go back and create the bootable USB it works as expected. My machine: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

Some variation of this(these?) bug(s?) still seems to exist on vivid. I landed here googling my original error message.

This issue seems to marked as fix released under Trusty, but I am seeing the
issue (or one
very similar). I have a brand-new SSD drive that I've put into an external USB
enclosure
and I am trying to install 14.10 onto it.

authorizing, I see
this error message:

[Bug 1294877] Re: Error erasing device: Unknown or unsupported erase type `'
I'm glad that there is progress with usb-creator-gtk. Obviously there were several bugs. Now it works fairly well (except that there are problems with the erase function). I made an alternative tool, mkusb, that easily wipes the traces from previous file systems as well as makes cloned copies of the iso files of many linux distros (all current Ubuntu flavours and versions except Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) mini.iso). https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb mkusb is good for the standard case (using the pendrive to install a system), but it does not work to make a persistent live system. When you want persistence, usb-creator-gtk and Unetbootin will do the job. I have tested them recently, and they work for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1294877 Title: Error erasing device: Unknown or unsupported erase type `' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1294877/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1294877] Re: Error erasing device: Unknown or unsupported erase type `'
I verified with usb-creator 0.2.56, my usbstick has dos partition table
and two fat32 partitions, then I launch usb-creator-gtk, select the
first partition and click Eraase Disk, after a second or two, the
partition is successfully erased, all files in the partition are erased
as expected.
So I believe this issue is correctly fixed. I'll add the tag
verification-done.
BTW, I also checked with these cases:
* when there is no partition table, bug #1300361 will be triggered
* when there is dos partition table but no partitions:
