Public bug reported: I inserted a SD card into the SD card reader of my laptop. I ran "Disks" from the Dash, I selected the SD card from the list of units, I selected a partition, I clicked "format" and selected the "fat" filesystem type.
After a few minutes of waiting with a frozen waiting supposed-to-be- animation icon, a popup showed up with this error: Error formatting volume. Error synchronizing after formatting with type `vfat': Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: linux-image-3.11.0-17-generic 3.11.0-17.31 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-17.31-generic 3.11.10.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: teo 2137 F.... pulseaudio Date: Sun Mar 2 18:10:05 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=ff7e702a-a05a-47fd-8c14-551e81f9e9e3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-11 (141 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MachineType: Acer Aspire V3-571G MarkForUpload: True ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-17-generic root=UUID=5830b30e-69e8-4bb4-8a2b-bc2b43c7414a ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.11.0-17-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.11.0-17-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.116.2 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2014-02-23 (7 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 10/15/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: Acer dmi.bios.version: V2.07 dmi.board.asset.tag: Type2 - Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: VA50_HC_CR dmi.board.vendor: Acer dmi.board.version: Type2 - Board Version dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Acer dmi.chassis.version: V2.07 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAcer:bvrV2.07:bd10/15/2012:svnAcer:pnAspireV3-571G:pvrV2.07:rvnAcer:rnVA50_HC_CR:rvrType2-BoardVersion:cvnAcer:ct10:cvrV2.07: dmi.product.name: Aspire V3-571G dmi.product.version: V2.07 dmi.sys.vendor: Acer ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug saucy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1286852 Title: Error formatting SD card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1286852/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
