Bug Description

Immediately after pressing the erase disk button and entering my password, usb-creator-gtk shows the following error:

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Afterwards, the disk is unmounted and usb-creator says it has 0.0 B available. Restarting the application then shows that the device was not erased.

looks like it's a dupe of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/559524 rather the one currently marked as such

also, in my case at least, udisks-daemon and udisks-helper-m (I guess it's "module", as top truncates it) stay eating 100% CPU (each) and memory until the whole system is completely unresponsive (best case scenario, it brings down gnome-shell and sends lots of things to swap before I kill it), so I guess this is also related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/726814

happened with two different usb sticks...
