Public bug reported: When I'm trying to erase USB flash I'm get popup with following stack trace:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.AttributeError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in _message_cb retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords) File "/usr/share/usb-creator/usb-creator-helper", line 218, in Format parent_dev = _get_parent_object(udisks, device) File "/usr/share/usb-creator/usb-creator-helper", line 49, in _get_parent_object parent = partition.get_cached_property('Table').get_string() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_cached_property' To workaround this problem I've done: 1. Remove existing partition on flash drive in GParted. 2. Create new FAT32 partition for whole flash drive in GParted. 3. Unplug/plug flash drive. 4. Start usb-creator-gtk --- "Make Startup Disk" now active and works.
