Assertion (dev != NULL) on ../../libparted/disk.c:185 in function ped_disk_new() failed.

[Jiří Kovalský]

Hello guys,

   I wanted to get my old 1GB USB stick formated, because it for some 
reason couldn't release 60% of its space so I installed your Gnome 
Format tool version 0.1.1. I tried both types (FAT and Ext2) but with 
same result. I am attaching screenshot of the USB drive properties.

Here is the stacktrace:

(gnome-format:3860): Gtk-WARNING **: Ignoring the separator setting

Let me please know if I can help you with some more information to have 
this bug fixed. Besides, the application didn't install correctly, 
because I couldn't launch it from the menu.

BTW, any suggestion to have my USB successfully re-formated? :)

Best regards,
