I had a similar problem. After a while I would get some pop-up window with an error in the org.freedesktop protocol or something like that. Also, some background processes continue running and burning my CPU at close to 100%, so I am forced to restart the computer.
My workaround at the moment is to use GParted and manually format the drive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162152 Title: startup disk creator / formating usb drive not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/1162152/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
