Timo, thanks for assigning the bug to me, just to double confirm it,
what am I supposed to do next? According to the wiki [1] now it's time
to get some sponsors to upload the patch? Please let me know whatever I
should do to get the job done, I'm so glad to have the chance to make
usb-creator better, it's a very important tool to me.

Title:
[SRU] Error erasing device when there is dos partition table but no
partition
Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in usb-creator source package in Trusty:
In Progress
Bug description:
[Impact]
Unable to erase the device if there's a partition table but no partitions.
[Test Case]
Steps to reproduce:
1. prepare an usbstick with dos partition table but no partition, this can be done with gparted
2. erase the usbstick with usb-creator-gtk or usb-creator-kde
Expected result:
The usbstick is successfully erased (and a partition should be created)
Actual result:
An error message is popped up:
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}', {}), None)
gi._glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object
[Regression Potential]
Should not affect negatively the normal use case (=usb stick with
partition table, one partition vfat formatted).
