I've also thrown Disks away! This is exasperating. 3 different builds with Ubuntu, 2 64bit & 1 32bit and every single one incapable of simply formatting any kind of flash pen (or disk!!!). I miss 12.04 so badly! Also, I had to turn to a Windows system to format & erase my flash pens. Pretty embarrassing. Not only that, you also can't name the volume on the (fruitless) process! Why?
Also, it seems to have become impossible to format a pen right from the Unity sidebar launcher, with a right-click. You can only Unlock from launcher/ Open / Eject; how silly is that? The navigation pane also lost this ability. Why? How come this is not more commented in forums? (Or commented at all?) Solution, proposed by a friend: change to Xubuntu. Things are working over there. The final Quantal seems crankier than the first beta! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073151 Title: Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is the same as in the 12.10 64bit; same error message, but in Quantal x86: BUG #1070451 Error returned when attempting to erase disks.
