Package: gnome-disk-utility Version: 2.28.1-2 Severity: normal Without the smartmontools package installed and "smartctl -a on /dev/sda" run, the SMART/health status is set to "Unknown" in the disk utility. After installing smartmontools, running the above command and rebooting, the SMART/health status is then shown correctly.
A casual user may not know to do this and then will not be warned of any hard drive problems. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-disk-utility depends on: ii devicekit-disks 009-2 abstraction for enumerating block ii libatasmart4 0.17+git20100219-1 ATA S.M.A.R.T. reading and parsing ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.20-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.84-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgdu-gtk0 2.28.1-2 GTK+ standard dialog library for l ii libgdu0 2.28.1-2 GObject based Disk Utility Library ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 2.28.2-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.7-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnautilus-extension 2.28.4-1 libraries for nautilus components ii libnotify1 [libnotify 0.4.5-1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libunique-1.0-0 1.1.6-1 Library for writing single instanc ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime gnome-disk-utility recommends no packages. gnome-disk-utility suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
