Ok I changed the title to what seems to be the case also in this bug's
reported case.
To sum up my experiences:
- If you have no partition table, ie. whole USB stick formatted as a partition
without a table (/dev/sdb mounted, not /dev/sdb1), you get bug #1300361
"'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_cached_property'"
- If you have a normal ("old style") DOS partition table, but you have ext4
partition in there, you get this "Timed out waiting for object"
- It works if you have a USB stick with a partition table and the partition
formatted with vfat
I've tested twice changing between ext4 and vfat so I can reproduce this
bug too but also a workaround is to use mkfs.vfat (or a similar tool) to
format the USB stick's partition to vfat format before starting the
Startup Disk Creator.
** Summary changed:
- usb-creator fails to wipe usb device
+ usb-creator fails to wipe usb device when the device has ext4 partition
