Bug Description
The format function in the 'Startup disk creator' does not work.
Test Case:
- open startup disk creator
- Select disk to use (using a fat 32 formatted drive)
- Erase disk
Expected result:
- Erased disk
Current result:
- After a long time more than 5 minutes an error message appears saying disk format failed
Work around:
- Format the drive using gparted.
- use 'startup disk creator' to create a startup disk with this already formatted drive.
Priority:
This problem might be a high priority problem given bug #1 that we want more users for ubuntu and this problem makes it more difficult to install ubuntu using a usb drive. Especially when considering that quite a few computers don't have a optical drive any more.
This Problem seems related to: https:/
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
