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.
