Good morning.
I use a usb key without partition allocate.
If I want to format the usb key with "erase the disk" in usb-creator I have this 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

But If before I prepare the usb key in Gparted with a FAT32 partition, "erase the disk" work perfectly !

I want than "erase the disk" will be more powerfull and do the job him-self without Gparted preparation.
