My tip for a solution is independent of waiting for udisks to be fixed: * Wipe the first megabyte (actually mibibyte) *
When the target drive is identified and selected (so that there can be no mistake), simply wipe the first mibibyte (use dd under the hood to overwrite it with zeros). This has worked well for me and people I have helped at the Ubuntu Forums. It is part of mkusb and I have used and recommended the method for years. mkusb from ppa:mkusb/unstable has a menu with several alternatives, where the first one (standard) will create pendrives, that work with for example the s-d-c and Unetbootin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1460602 Title: Erasing disk failed: Error wiping newly created partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1460602/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
