Public bug reported:
Downloaded latest Gnome Ubuntu 14.04 Beta 2 ISO. Attempted to create
new startup USB key using Startup Disk Creator, and the USB key that I
previously used to install the Alpha 2 code. System apparently failed to
clear the disk, and reported the following error message:
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}', {'erase':
GLib.Variant('s', '')}), None)
gi._glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error
synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object
Closed Startup Disk Creator, and checked the USB Key with "Disks", which
also appeared unable to clear the drive (this time without any helpful
messages - it just didnt work).
Dropped to command line, and checked USB Key with fdisk. Deleted all the
partitions, and cleared / reset the partition table to a clear default.
Resynced the disks and rebooted.
Attempted to create the USB key again with Startup Disk Creator & the
14.04 beta 2 ISO, and this time the now *blank* USB key appeared in the
menu as being full (0 bytes available). Attempting to clear the USB key
again results in exactly the same message as before:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.gi._glib.GError: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in
