Public bug reported:
I selected a usb stick under "Disk to use" and I hit the "Erase disk"
button.
After prompting me for the sudo password, this error immediately popped
up:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.AttributeError: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in _message_cb

File "/usr/share/usb-creator/usb-creator-helper", line 292, in Format
block = obj.get_block()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_block'
I tried again, and at the second attempt the error message was different (maybe because the previous attempt partially deleted something and corrupted the disk? Anyway, erase should work no matter what)
