Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 can not format a usb stick or drive without using the terminal.
In day to day use this function is used a lot by users to clean the drive before adding new data like pictures etc. I'll use the terminal for this, but some people will return to windows for this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1059872 Title: Error formatting disk using disk utility To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/1059872/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
