Hi Philipp, I cannot se what devices it's trying to scan. I launched gparted from terminal, but there's no output, see attached immage.
I have this output on /var/log/syslog, but these messages occur also when gparted is closed so I'm not sure they are caused by gparted: Jan 4 11:30:07 charlie02 kernel: [ 5986.764506] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Jan 4 11:30:07 charlie02 kernel: [ 5986.764520] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 Jan 4 11:30:20 charlie02 kernel: [ 5998.932486] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Jan 4 11:30:20 charlie02 kernel: [ 5998.932500] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 Jan 4 11:30:32 charlie02 kernel: [ 6011.100471] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Jan 4 11:30:32 charlie02 kernel: [ 6011.100485] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 Jan 4 11:30:44 charlie02 kernel: [ 6023.268967] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Jan 4 11:30:44 charlie02 kernel: [ 6023.268979] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 ** Attachment added: "screenshot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/910379/+attachment/2656869/+files/Screenshot%20at%202012-01-04%2011%3A26%3A40.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910379 Title: Gparted does not start and continues to scan devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/910379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
