I was able to get around this problem by executing usb-creator-gtk using the following command: sudo usb-creator-gtk --allow-system-internal Be careful that you choose the correct device to erase, but this should be a viable workaround until a fix is found. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048792 Title: org.freedesktop.Dbus error while trying to erase USB key with Startup disk creator To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1048792/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
