Package: gparted Version: 0.3.3-4 Severity: important After any successful operation, gparted crashes while rescanning devices.
I have been using gparted extensively since last night to organize my partitions on an internal IDE disk and an external USB disk. I think I have done just about every available operation: create, delete, resize, move partitions, ... All operations were successful but gparted ***always*** crashes when it's rescanning the devices after the operations are completed. I was previously using kernel 2.6.23-rc5-k7 and, non-deterministically, my whole KDE desktop would freeze while I used gparted. If I were listening to music on amarok, it would keep repeating the same seconds of music like a scratched record. I then reverted to kernel 2.6.22-2-k7, and now gparted crashes deterministically after any successful operation. It's a really great software and I don't wanna stop using it. I had to restart it countless times since last night, but it's well worth the hassle. It does its job, and very well, intuitively and comfortably. I do hope this is a simple bug to squash. I'm running gparted under KDE 3.5.7. Do let me know if you'd like me to do any tests to diagnose this bug. I'm more than interested to contribute to its resolution. Once again, thanks for this great software !
