Public bug reported: The format function in the 'Startup disk creator' does not work.
Test Case: - open startup disk creator - Select disk to use (using a fat 32 format) - Erase disk Expexted result: - Erased disk Current result: - After a long time more than 5 minutes an error message appears saying disk format failed Work around: - Format the drive using gparted. - use 'startup disk creator' to create a startup disk with this already formatted drive. Problem seems related to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/1059872 This problem might be a high priority problem given the situation that we want more users for ubuntu and this problem makes it more difficult to get ubuntu on a usb drive. Especially when considering that quite a few computers don't have a optical drive any more. ** Affects: udisks (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162152 Title: startup disk creator / formating usb drive not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/1162152/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
