[Bug 1048792] Re: org.freedesktop.Dbus error while trying to erase USB key with Startup disk creator

[Endre Stølsvik]

Still present in 13.10, workaround quoted by @deric works.

<whine>
How on earth is it that something as simple as creating a damn USB disk can be made so grossly absurdly difficult? "Affects 66 people"? FOR REAL?? And the quoted bug affects 83 people?

These are people trying to install Ubuntu! And they are people which actually manages to complain here? How many are really affected by this, possibly giving up?

Bug description:
  While trying to erase a USB key with Startup disk creator, I get an error message saying: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply..." see attached screenshot.
  I closed Startup disk creator and tried to repeat the action but I get another error: "org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Busy: There is already a job running." see attached screenshot.
