I run into this with Linux Mint 18.3 MATE. The workaround mentioned in
the description at the top works for me as well.

Formatting a SD card using the disk utility fails with an error
message
"Error formatting disk - Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed
out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)"
The underlying problem is that the "wipefs" tool from util-linux does
not work any more.
You can work around this bug in gnome-disk-utility using these steps:
* After selecting the SD card, instead of clicking the gear icon to format,
click the partition in the "Volumes" section.
* Delete the partition ("minus" icon)
* Create a new partition
[Test Case]
$ sudo modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=200
# this creates a new /dev/sdX, usually /dev/sdb; check dmesg!
# now create a partition table
$ cat

Just remove this shitty package from Ubuntu/Debian/... and provide
GPARTED by default! That works!

How is this broken after at least two years? Or is it meant to scare
beginner users that may have chosen the wrong setting, choosing "format"
drive, this is considered to be really a command-line-only task?

@claytondillard, please calm down.
You should be aware that the times in which you choose Linux for stability or
robustness are long gone (if ever they existed). Now you choose it for freedom,
for helping, for fixing things community-wise, or otherwise you are misguided.
Windows 10 never hung on my wife's PC in the last year. My Linux has to be hard
reset twice a week
So if this bug it's a pet peeve for you, try to fix it or pay someone to fix it
(I did that for a Libreoffice problem, and it worked!). You can get angry only
on things you paid for... ;-)

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1059872] Re: Error formatting disk using disk utility
This bug has been in existence for years. I just loaded up a new
install of Ubuntu 16.04 and ran into this. I also cannot use my DVD
drive because every time I put a disc in I get an error that the disk is
already mounted. I used dconf-editor and disabled the automount
features and rebooted. No good.
I'm beginning to believe that Ubuntu is a total crap system. Bugs hang
around for years and never get fixed. You install the OS on a new
computer and basic features don't EFFING WORK. It really is ridiculous.
After 13 years of using Linux every day you'd think I would have learned
by now. It sucks on the desktop.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1059872] Re: Error formatting disk using disk utility
Yep, as reported by others, upgrading to util-linux 2.25.2-4 in Ivan's
ppa fixed the issue in 14.04.4 splendidly. Therefore, since as of 3 days
ago 16.04 was giving me the same trouble, and Launchpad is showing util-
linux 2.26.2 as default in 16.04, there must be a regression
reintroducing this terrible bug in the newer util-linux, or there was
something else wrong with the daily build of 4/16 that caused a similar
symptomatic manifestation. As for 15.10, I'm seeing util-linux 2.25.2-4
as default, yet I encountered the same problem, and, in fact, had to fix
my USB drive on my ancient Windows laptop before I could use it to
downgrade to 14.04.4. Who but God knows why.

"If it bothers you that much, run 15.10 or 16.04."
I tried both, Phillip, but the bug is still present. I couldn't conceive
of such a basic malfunction affecting the previous LTS, so I switched
back to 14.04, only to be shocked and horrified to discover that the bug
has been around this long.
Imagine, a fundamental function broken for years is still tolerated in
the NEXT LTS release. I don't know how to describe that level of
lethargy.
(This makes at least two default apps in the current release of Ubuntu
that manifest total failure to function, since Transmission just deletes
torrents as soon as the downloads complete, probably due to some complex
permissions clusterfrell casual users shouldn't be expected to
understand or rectify.)
Anyone, I'll be trying out upgrading util-linux from Ivan's ppa to see
if that works.

out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)"
The underlying problem is that the "wipefs" tool from util-linux does
not work any more.
You can work around this bug in gnome-disk-utility using these steps:
* After selecting the SD card, instead of clicking the gear icon to format,
click the partition in the "Volumes" section.
* Delete the partition ("minus" icon)
* Create a new partition
[Test Case]
$ sudo modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=200
# this creates a new /dev/sdX, usually /dev/sdb; check dmesg!
# now create a partition table
$ cat

Bug description:
Formatting a SD card using the disk utility fails with an error
message
Error formatting disk - Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed
out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)
Steps to repro:
Launch the disk utility
Plug a SD card into the computer
Select the SD card and click on the gears icon at the top right of the
application
From the drop down menu, select Format Disk
maintain the default setting and select Format
Acknowledge warnings
After format process has been going for a while, the error message shown
above pops up
Workaround:
After selecting the SD card, instead of clicking the gear icon to format,
click the partition in the Volumes section.
Delete the partition (minus icon)
Create a new partition
-
The underlying problem is that the wipefs tool from util-linux does
not work any more.

Hi, I have proposed a patch which backport util-linux 2.25-8ubuntu1 from utopic to trusty: https://code.launchpad.net/~yuningdodo/ubuntu/trusty/util-linux/util- linux.backport-utopic-2.25-8ubuntu1/+merge/232848 The patch works for myself, however I am not sure if there will be any side effect since it's really a lot of changes.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1059872] Re: Error formatting disk using disk utility
This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.25-8ubuntu1
---
util-linux (2.25-8ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian experimental.
- This is now a non-ancient version. (LP: #1012081)
- No longer uses /etc/blkid.tab by default, but a file in /run/.
(LP: #1244595)
- mkswap wipes fs signatures (LP: #1047666)
- Fix reatime manpage typo (LP: #1047666)
- wipefs properly cleans up fs signatures (LP: #1059872)
Remaining Ubuntu changes:
- Regularly trim SSDs automatically (core-1311-ssd-trimming):
+ Add debian/fstrim-all: Script to detect which mounted partitions
need/support trimming, and call fstrim(8) on all of them.
Install into /usr/sbin/.
+ Add debian/fstrim-all.8: Manpage for the above.
+ Add debian/fstrim-all.cron: Trivial shell script to call fstrim-all,
so that admins can easily adjust/disable it. Installed as
/etc/cron.weekly/fstrim.
- Upstart support:
+ Add hwclock{-save}.upstart, and install them in debian/rules.
+ Drop initscripts dependency.
+ Drop debian/hwclock.rules and hwclock.default.
- Add mountall-options.patch, see patch header.
- uuid-runtime.postinst: Due to the way the uuidd account is created, it
will get a uid/gid allocation for userns use. This isn't needed and is a
waste of uid/gid so always clear uuidd from subuid/subgid.
* Drop /lib/init/fstab parsing fallback in mount. Patch does not apply at
all any more, is specific to mountall (and thus should not be relied
upon), and not very useful; all init systems, schroot, debootstrap etc.
mount /sys, /proc/ and friends by themselves already.
util-linux (2.25-8) experimental; urgency=medium
* Only install linux32/64 manpages on linux-any
* Fix uuid-runtime.postinst to skip rmdir when not needed (Closes: #757432)
* fdisk-udeb: use dh-exec to skip sfdisk install on sparc
util-linux (2.25-7) experimental; urgency=medium
* Mangle installed files on sparc (sfdisk)
* Fix sparc install mangling
* Use --disable-mountpoint instead of rm
* Use dh-exec (= 0.13)
* Install mips,ppc,s390 setarch symlinks and manpages
util-linux (2.25-6) experimental; urgency=medium
The Jonno was here release.
[ Jon Severinsson ]
* Drop changelog file from the ancient mount source package.
[ Andreas Henriksson ]
* util-linux: Drop all (obsolete) Replaces/Conflicts
[ Jon Severinsson ]
* Add Replaces/Breaks bash-completion ( 1:2.1-3).
* Multiple cleanups in debian/control.
* Minor cleanup of debian/rules.
* Use filter, not findstring, for arch matching
* Simplify linux-only install file handling
* Use debian/*-udeb.install files for udeb packages.
* Fix util-linux lintian override.
[ Andreas Henriksson ]
* Minor uuid-runtime.postinst cleanup
* Add d/p/cfdisk-reenable-cursor-when-quitting.patch (Closes: #755991)
util-linux (2.25-5) experimental; urgency=medium
The big maintainer-script cleanup release
* Drop debian/uuid-runtime.prerm (and related lintian override)
- dh_installinit will automatically start and stop services as needed.
* Drop debian/libuuid1.postinst (user/group addition)
* uuid-runtime: improved user/group handling (Closes: #734544)
- pre-depend on new libuuid1 to make sure no old user handling is present
- add code to rename existing libuuid user/group to uuidd
and set nologin shell and new home directory.
- switch to adduser instead of opencoding it since uuid-runtime
is Priority: optional (as opposed to libuuid1 which is required)
and adduser --system should just do the right thing.
- change user/group addition to add uuidd instead of libuuid.
- stop making uuidd setuid, not needed and we don't want anyone to
be able to kill the daemon (via uuidd -k) for example.
* Drop d/p/Use-libuuid-user-group-in-sysvinit-script-systemd-un.patch
* util-linux: drop obsolete hwclock handling from maint-scripts
* util-linux: drop obsolete update-mime calls
* util-linux: drop obsolete 2.17 upgrade warning
* util-linux: drop obsolete /etc/default/rcS - /etc/adjtime migration
* Reindent/cleanup all maintainer scripts
* Drop outdated debian/README.Debian.hwclock (Closes: #263116)
* Drop unused debian/rejected-upstream
* Drop outdated debian/uuid-dev.README.Debian
* Drop diffutils build-dependency
* Drop debian/*.dirs
* Attempt to avoid dumb term problem in more: regexp test
util-linux (2.25-4) experimental; urgency=medium
* Minor improvements to verbose-tests.patch
* Drop renice bash completion for now (Closes: #756132)
* Include dpkg-dev's pkg-info.mk to get package version
* Stop creating unused /etc/fstab.d directory (Closes: #666163)
* Use proper getty [hurd-any] for Conflicts/Replaces
* Add patches cherry-picked from upstream git master
- debian/patches/tests-allow-non-inotify-tailf-to-keep-up.patch

I was going to revert it locally to verify that installing the new util-linux 2.24 from debian experimental fixed it, but it seems that the bzr branch is significantly out of date for some reason... I've tested locally both 2.24 and 2.25 from pkg-util-linux and the sample python script to format a drive using UDisks2 API still fails with a timeout syncing after initial wipe. I see no reason to revert that patch, given that UDisks still fails to format drives, by default. And all that patch does is introduces an extra option to be less safe. I also have preliminary scripts to make this into an autopackagetest using loop mounts. At the moment though, udisks2 API users are a bit broken e.g. Disks gui utility most importantly. If there is an urgent desire to revert this harmless by-default patch, I can stop using UDisks2 api in usb-creator altogether and instead use something like pyparted or just manual set of low-level commands (wipefs, mkfs, parted...) -- Regards, Dimitri. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1059872 Title: Error formatting disk using disk utility Status in “udisks2” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “util-linux” package in Debian: New Bug description: Formatting a SD card using the disk utility fails with an error message Error formatting disk - Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0) Steps to repro: Launch the disk utility Plug a SD card into the computer Select the SD card and click on the gears icon at the top right of the application From the drop down menu, select Format Disk maintain the default setting and select Format Acknowledge warnings After format process has been going for a while, the error message shown above pops up ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: udisks 1.0.4-6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-15.23-generic 3.5.4 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CustomUdevRuleFiles: 51-android.rules 51-android.rules~ Date: Mon Oct 1 15:07:46 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal - Alpha amd64 (20120720.1) MachineType: FOXCONN NT-A2400NT-A3500 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-15-generic root=UUID=fcc445e4-9662-47cc-855d-ca17ad1c2a87 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: udisks UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 03/29/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 4.6.4 dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.board.name: NT-A2400NT-A3500 dmi.board.vendor: FOXCONN dmi.board.version: FAB 1.0 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.chassis.type: 4 dmi.chassis.vendor: FOXCONN dmi.chassis.version: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr4.6.4:bd03/29/2011:svnFOXCONN:pnNT-A2400NT-A3500:pvrFAB1.0:rvnFOXCONN:rnNT-A2400NT-A3500:rvrFAB1.0:cvnFOXCONN:ct4:cvrToBeFilledByO.E.M.: dmi.product.name: NT-A2400NT-A3500 dmi.product.version: FAB 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: FOXCONN To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1059872/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

If you have questions, ask and I'll explain more what it does. disk utility can't format drives in Ubuntu. The patch I added to UDisks2 has no effect on disks utility in either way, since simply the default (broken) behavior is used there. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1059872 Title: Error formatting disk using disk utility Status in “udisks2” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “util-linux” package in Debian: New Bug description: Formatting a SD card using the disk utility fails with an error message Error formatting disk - Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0) Steps to repro: Launch the disk utility Plug a SD card into the computer Select the SD card and click on the gears icon at the top right of the application From the drop down menu, select Format Disk maintain the default setting and select Format Acknowledge warnings After format process has been going for a while, the error message shown above pops up ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: udisks 1.0.4-6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-15.23-generic 3.5.4 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CustomUdevRuleFiles: 51-android.rules 51-android.rules~ Date: Mon Oct 1 15:07:46 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal - Alpha amd64 (20120720.1) MachineType: FOXCONN NT-A2400NT-A3500 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-15-generic root=UUID=fcc445e4-9662-47cc-855d-ca17ad1c2a87 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: udisks UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 03/29/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 4.6.4 dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.board.name: NT-A2400NT-A3500 dmi.board.vendor: FOXCONN dmi.board.version: FAB 1.0 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.chassis.type: 4 dmi.chassis.vendor: FOXCONN dmi.chassis.version: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr4.6.4:bd03/29/2011:svnFOXCONN:pnNT-A2400NT-A3500:pvrFAB1.0:rvnFOXCONN:rnNT-A2400NT-A3500:rvrFAB1.0:cvnFOXCONN:ct4:cvrToBeFilledByO.E.M.: dmi.product.name: NT-A2400NT-A3500 dmi.product.version: FAB 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: FOXCONN To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1059872/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Touch-packages] [Bug 1059872] Re: Error formatting disk using disk utility
I see now.. through the magic of dbus variants you can add optional arguments without breaking abi. Running util-linux 2.24.2-1, this timeout problem has been solved for me. It correctly removes the existing partition table on a test disk, creates a new one, and does not give the timeout error.
