I can confirm that the format button has a major issue. It is always available, even when no disks are selected. (See attached pic)
For the bug concerning lack of verbose feedback when formatting a drive (and nothing happens) please see Bug #457737. I suggest you subscibe, mark it as affecting you, and optionally comment. To answer your question concerning permissions, I think you need to be part of the plugdev and/or admin groups in Karmic (new with devicekit- disks). ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-Make Startup Disk.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37802144/Screenshot-Make%20Startup%20Disk.png ** Summary changed: - The format button + The format button is always visible -- The format button is always visible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501057 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
