SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Insert a USB pendrive which seems to contain a live Manjaro
installation/installer
2. open it in Partition Manager
3. Create a new partition table
3. Create a NTFS partition occupying all the space
4. Apply
OBSERVED RESULT
It gives an error. Under "details" it says this, which basically only says
"error":
```
Create a new partition table (type: gpt) on ‘/dev/sdb’
Job: Create new partition table on device ‘/dev/sdb’
Command: sfdisk --wipe=always /dev/sdb
Create new partition table on device ‘/dev/sdb’: Error
Create a new partition table (type: gpt) on ‘/dev/sdb’: Error
```
I have no idea if there's anything actually wrong with the pendrive justifying
the error, but the fact that the only information under "Details" is literally
"Error" is insulting.
EXPECTED RESULT
should explain in detail what's wrong; and it's pretty likely that there's no
good reason for this to work in the first place.
