Bug Description
Binary package hint: pysdm
Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
$ apt-cache policy pysdm
pysdm:
Installed: 0.4.1-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 0.4.1-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 0.4.1-0ubuntu2 0

I have 3 drives on my systems:
- /dev/sda, My primary hard drive, where my Windows and Ubuntu OS's are installed, with 4 partitions
- /dev/sdb, a USB drive easily removable, also with 4 partitions
- /dev/sdc, my flash-memory drive (Corsair)
The partitions on /dev/sda are /dev/sda1-4, where /dev/sda1 is my Windows partition.
I wished to have my Windows partition always mount at boot time.
Steps:
1. I invoke pysdm and it presents me with a window displaying the three devices I listed above.
2. I select /dev/sda and it expands down to display /dev/sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4
3. I select /dev/sda1, my Windows partition.
4. It pops up a small dialog box, telling me that /dev/sdb1 has not been configured. This is my backup partition on the the USB-attached hard drive. If I click on OK, it mounds the backup partition.
This is ridiculous! It should have been asking about configuring /dev/sda1, not sdb1.
I have been unable to get pysdm to list the windows partition (/dev/sda1). I finally succeeded (I think) using ntfs-config, though I won't be certain until I reboot. But the point is that pysdm is misbehaving.
Try with 0.4.2 (https:/ /launchpad. net/~kronoss/ +archive/ ppa/+files/ pysdm_0. 4.2-0ubuntu4_ all.deb)
