[Bug 1354650] Re: Error with "erase the disk" in USB-creator with "unallocated partition" USB key.

[Christophe De Zan]

Good morning.

ubuntu-14.04.2 (64bits)
usb-creator-gtk 0.2.56.3ubuntu0.1

No message error...but
I click on "erase the disk" and have a red flag.
I click again on "erase the disk" and work perfectly.

** Description changed:

  Good morning.
  I use a usb key without partition allocate.
  If I want to format the usb key with "erase the disk" in usb-creator I have this error message :
   org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.gi._glib.GError: Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in _message_cb
      retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords)
    File "/usr/share/usb-creator/usb-creator-helper", line 239, in Format
      block.call_format_sync('dos', GLib.Variant('a{sv}', {'erase': GLib.Variant('s', '')}), None)
  gi._glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object
  
  But If before I prepare the usb key in Gparted with a FAT32 partition,
- "erase the disk"  work perfectly !
- 
- I hope in the futur than "erase the disk"  will be more powerfull and do
- the job him-self without Gparted preparation.
+ "erase the disk"  work perfectly.
