I've made an USB installer stick from Windows with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS , now I'm trying to format it from Ubuntu. When I try to format I get this error :
This partition cannot be modified because it contains a partition table; >please reinitialize layout of the whole device. (udisks-error-quark, 11)
I upgraded Ubuntu today and everything works smooth except that Ubuntu doesn't detect any other storage devices. My / and /home partitions work fine, but my other partitions are just not detected. I wouldn't mind, except the same problem goes with USB sticks.
When I plug in a USB stick, the light goes on, but the computer detects nothing. Just to be clear, my mouse and keyboard are connected via USB and work fine.
Any idea how to solve this issue? None of the suggestions I found on the internet have any effect.
Using Ubuntu 11.10, how do I format an external or USB drive?
I don't find an option to 'format' when I right click. In the new version, the drives don't come up on the desktop, but instead come on the Launcher.
I want to burn a Windows ISO to a USB device in Ubuntu. How do I do this?
I know how to burn a Ubuntu ISO into a USB device, but with a Windows ISO it's not the same.
Is it possible to reset the connection of a USB device, without physically disconnecting/connecting from the PC?
Specifically, my device is a digital camera. I'm using gphoto2, but lately I get "device read errors", so I'd like to try to do a software-reset of the connection.
From what I can tell, there are no kernel modules being loaded for the camera. The only one that looks related is usbhid.
