Bug Description
Whenever I boot up ubuntu and attempt to format a plugged-in or mounted USB, the Format button has no effect when clicked on; not even an error message. If there is an error, Ubuntu should let me know or not allow me to format by disabling to format option.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot up Ubuntu on the hard disk with a live-usb of ubuntu plugged in (this will be the USB to attempt to format)
2. Log in and open Files
3. Right-click the USB and select "Format"
Expected Results:
Either the Format menu appears, an error message appears if I am unable to format the disk, or the Format button is disabled.
Actual Results:
Files allows the format button to be clicked, but nothing happens when it is clicked on.
