That's pretty weird. It looks like dev didn't get setup properly and a bunch of other checks didn't catch it.

Could you attach the first 34 sectors of the device?

dd if=/dev/sdc of=disklabel.bin bs=512 count=34

lsusb -v

I had already used fdisk to partition it. I did attach lsusb -v and did not see that I had to uncheck the providing information checkbox.

If there's any test I can run on it I will. It may be a problem with my system or it's a fake Kingston stick since it came with our logo on it from 'a very cheap vendor'.

Does parted still crash after using fdisk on it?

I had intended to change to a clean install of Fedora 22 LXDE spin so did that.

As long as I leave the fdisk work alone and just delete the partition and repartition it with parted it works fine. I just now did the following. I wiped it with dd stopping at an arbitrary place with CTRL-C.

$dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd

Oh! I didn't realize you were trying to create a partition without first making a  disklabel. That's less serious of a bug than I was thinking. You need to use mklabel msdos or gpt before you can create any partitions on it. But we should also be checking to make sure there is a recognized disklabel before allowing other commands.
