This is likely to be a bug in the underlying libparted library, rather than in gparted itself.
Note that, contrary to the most recent comment, Ubuntu 8.04 does *not* use gparted to install, but a separate implementation that also eventually uses libparted under the covers. The distinction matters since otherwise bugs go to the wrong place! |

What more information do you need?
lspci and lsusb have nothing to do with the problem, nor does the disk type or settings.
Most people who have this problem don't have this problem for very long because they fix it; but you can reproduce the problem on any PC like this:
sudo sfdisk -d /dev/sdX | tee ORIG.$$ | sed 's/^\(.*start= *\)\([0-9]*\)\(.*\)/\1 63 \3/' | sudo sfdisk /dev/sdX
and produce an overlapping partition table by making all partitions start at position 63.
In such a case gparted wrongly shows that there are no partitions.

My mistake, I apologize.
For the record, I was able to reproduce the problem in Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 as outlined above.
Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let development handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

Binary package hint: gparted
The bug appears in gparted.
the command "sudo fdisk -l" shows my normal partition table, but gparted fakes a completely empty harddisk. Space not allocated.
The command line tool parted also do not work properly. When i try to print the partition table from parted. i have this error message:
Erreur: On ne peut avoir de partition en dehors du disque !
Error : It is not possible to have partition outside the disk.
I am also surprised that my disk was renamed from hda to sda after the feisty upgrade.

package version
gparted 0.2.5 / parted 1.7.1 |
(g)parted can not work with a disk that has a partition that goes beyond the end of the disk. It should report the problem, but allow you to ignore and so you can use parted to correct the issue instead of fdisk. |
