palimpsest segfault error 4 in libgdu-gtk.so

[Mike Witt]

I have a 12.04 system running on my desktop on an internal SSD drive. I just added a 500 Gig hard drive to the system and used the Disk Utility to format it and create a single partition on it. This all appeared to have worked, as I can read and write files on the new partition.

However, I can't seem use the Disk Utility to test the disk. If I bring up the "SMART Data" panel and then click on either "Refresh" or "Run Self-Test" then the Disk Utility dies and in the log I see something like:

I have an old Dell Inspiron 1525 notebook with ATA WDC WD1200BEVS-75UST0 hard drive and if I going to refresh SMART status, I get this error. Further to that, Self-diagnosis show a status: "Cancelled (hardware or software fail)"

Ubuntu 12.04. On former Ubuntu releases everything was ok and my hard drive is ok - I checked it in Windows.
