I have no idea what udisks2 is. I tried apt install udisks2. That was installed successfully didn't fix the problem.

same issue on devuan ascii

My python is not great but what i had figured out after a browse through your code was that in UDISKS.mount() you are trying to create a new device in mount and udisk2 is not finding it

[soichih]

Has anyone figured out how to solve this? I am seeing the same error message.

[knoellle]

I had the same error message on arch linux, but it was fixed after I installed the package udisks2 via pacman.

[Mielai1l]

From the required packages (as mentioned on the install page) -- python3-pyqt5 p7zip-full parted util-linux python3-pyudev mtools python3-dbus python3-six -- python3-pyudev appeared not to be installed. Installing this solved this error for me (on kubuntu 19.10)

[dcrobertson01]

I installed a pre built package - those requirements are on the '--from source code' section.

Also - python3-pyudev is already installed. All the requirements are installed.

Hi, sorry to reopen a dead error, but i am also experiencing this error. I already have python3-pyudev installed. I am on void linux, anyone got any ideas? i can provide crash logs on request.

[jake-87]

Fixed. Had to both rm -rf the USB and reinstall multibootusb.
