Title:
  Software Sources (software-properties-gtk) crashes with KeyError in
  show_drivers()

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Software Sources fails to launch when started from the App menu.
  When running software-properties-gtk from terminal however, the following Traceback occurs:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk", line 103, in <module>
      app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=options.data_dir, options=options, file=file)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 180, in __init__
      self.show_drivers()
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 1280, in show_drivers
      widget = Gtk.Label("{}: {}".format(self.devices[device]['vendor'], self.devices[device]['model']))
  KeyError: 'model'

  As can be seen from the Traceback, the KeyError occurs in the
  show_drivers() method, which supports the "Additional Drivers" tab
  within Software Sources.

  Replacing the line 
  "widget = Gtk.Label("{}: {}".format(self.devices[device]['vendor'], self.devices[device]['model']))" 
  with 
  "widget = Gtk.Label("{}".format(self.devices[device]['vendor']))"
  allowed Software Sources to start up normally.
