Title:
  Erasing usb stick failed: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no
  attribute 'get_block'

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I tried erasing a standard USB stick on up to date Ubuntu 15.04. This caused
  another new error message:

  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 292, in Format
      block = obj.get_block()
  AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_block'

  
  Looks like obj can be None in some situation and this is not handled properly.
