This bug has been in existence for years. I just loaded up a new install of Ubuntu 16.04 and ran into this. I also cannot use my DVD drive because every time I put a disc in I get an error that the disk is already mounted. I used dconf-editor and disabled the automount features and rebooted. No good.
I'm beginning to believe that Ubuntu is a total crap system. Bugs hang around for years and never get fixed. You install the OS on a new computer and basic features don't EFFING WORK. It really is ridiculous. After 13 years of using Linux every day you'd think I would have learned by now. It sucks on the desktop. -- 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/dargui/+bug/1059872/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
