gpartedbin crashed when resizing HFS+

[Dave Hope]

Binary package hint: gparted

Ubuntu 9.10 using the i386 desktop install CD, running the live CD and launching gparted (GParted 0.4.5):

# apt-cache policy gparted
gparted:
  Installed: 0.4.5-2ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.4.5-2ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.4.5-2ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

When applying a single operation, resizing a 111.47GiB HFS+ partition to 60GiB (ish) gparted crashed almost instantly. Using 'parted', it seems no changes to the drive actually took place:

(parted) print all
Model: ATA TOSHIBA MK1234GS (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 120GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

Crash information should be attached.

Thank you for taking the time to report this crash and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular crash has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug #462743, so is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Please continue to report any other bugs you may find.

[Dave Hope (dave-davehope)]

Thanks,

The other bug seems to be marked as private, so I and others having this problem can't access it.

Can you either change the visibility of the other bug, or leave this one open so others can avoid reporting duplicates?

[Dave Hope (dave-davehope)]

With the bug marked as a duplicate, nobody else could see it, and the one the Apport retracing service flagged it as a duplicate of is marked as private (so again, can't be found).

Can the other bug me made private, or this one? - that way others are less likely to re-raise this issue.

[Amgine (amgine-saewyc)]

Ditto. If I cannot determine if the other bug is a duplicate, marking this as my problem.

9.10 reached end of life some time ago and is no longer supported.
