Title:
  usb-creator-kde can't erase USB disk

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce
  1. Start usb-creator-kde
  2. Select an USB disk and click 'Erase Disk'
  3. Fill in password

  This error appears:

  org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.GLib.Error: 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 287, in Format
      partition = table.call_create_partition_sync(0, size, '0x0c', '', no_options, None)
  GLib.Error: udisks-error-quark: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error wiping newly created partition /dev/sdf1: Command-line `wipefs -a "/dev/sdf1"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: wipefs: error: /dev/sdf1: probing initialization failed: No such file or directory
   (0)

  It's not entirely clear if the USB disk is wiped or not. Behaviour of
  usb-creator-kde is inconsistent. Sometimes it can't be closed, or
  sometimes an .iso file can't be selected because the window does not
  appear after clicking 'Other'.
