Public bug reported:
I am trying to erase a disk with Startup Disk Creator. The processes
udisks-daemon and udisks-helper-m(something) run for a long time. I
tried stracing the last one, and saw lots of these:
write(2, "Error: ", 7) = 7
write(2, "Can't have a partition outside the disk!\n", 41) = 41
write(2, "new_size=15927345152 but resulting size, 15926820864, smaller than
requested", 76) = 76
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
Then the processes disappeared, and I got a popup window:
System program problem detected
Do you want to report the problem now?
I click that I want to report the problem, after which I have to enter my root
password, and then I finally get the error:
--------
Sorry, the program "udisks-daemon" closed unexpectedly
Your computer does not have enough free memory to automatically analyse the
problem and send a report to the developers.
---------
I have 8GB of RAM on my laptop, and I'm not using it for anything else
right now. This seems to be a major flaw with ubuntu-bug as well, I'm
unable to report bugs because of bugs. It should always fall back to
sending what it can.
