In my system, starting gparted all I get is the app window saying "Scanning all devices" for ever (== at least half an hour... that's as far as my patience goes :))
Disappointingly enough, this happens even when booting with with the Gutsy 7.10 official Live CD (with the disk having no partition table at all - brand new). Only the SATA disk installed in the system.
It also happens after the successful installation with the disk fully partitioned.
All this is with my new SATA seagate 7200.10 750gb disk and I needed to create extended partitions (which the default Ubuntu Installer partitioner wouldn't let me do... that's why I needed gparted), so I finally had to use an external tool to do it (acronis). In the past (feisty and before), gparted worked great in similar scenarios and I didn't have to resort to external tools (acronis worked great, and is a linux app as well).

If a floppy drive is activated in the computer BIOS, but not available physically, gparted enters an infinite loop while scanning devices.
WORKAROUNDS:
a) disable your floppy drive in the computer BIOS
b) start gparted with the device you want to work on, e.g. "gparted /dev/sda"
c) NOT RECOMMENDED/UNTESTED: move away /dev/fd0 before starting gparted |

Santiago : Thanks for the feedback. This bug has been identified by gparted developers and fixed in gparted 0.3.8 release, which has been upload to ubuntu intrepid 2008-08-01 . Most probably that you simply updated to that version so the bug isn't reproducible for you. According to your positive feedback, I set the bug status to fix released. However, don't hesitate to comment here again if you can reproduce this bug in the future. |
