Hello, I can confirm this. I tried creating a LUKS+Ext4 partition on an external hard-drive, using the nautilus integration. I am on Ubuntu 13.10, 64-bit. I am able to: - select the drive (to select "Format...") - select the filesystem type (LUKS+Ext4) - choose a password - re-enter it correctly - click on the "Format" box. A dialog then tells me that if I proceed all the data in the disk will be lost (as it should be), so I proceed. But then, nothing happens! No error dialog, no confirmation dialog, nothing whatsoever... However, using the gnome disk utilities I have no problem, and the formatting is a success. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244899 Title: the format, it does nothing! Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I recently bought a new USB thumb drive, and popped it in to my computer to LUKS it up. I clicked the little "eject" sigil next to its name in nautilus, and then right-clicked on its sidebar entry and chose "format". I get asked all the relevant information, and I click format. Then I confirm. The rest is silence. I'm not sure why nothing happens, exactly, but I can't find any new icons on my unity dock thingy, can't find any mkfs processes running, and in fact basically the request to format seems to have actually been completely ignored. Same thing happens when I choose pure ext4 without the LUKS crypto.
