I can't start Parted when I boot the 10.04 Desktop 32-bit CD. When I click it on the menu, parted (the full-size window with title, though I can't see the contents in that split second) disappears a fraction of a second after it appears. If I then try to sudo parted from the Terminal, it presents this error rather than starting.
How can I install if I can't partition? ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo gparted ====================== libparted : 2.2 ====================== Backtrace has 16 calls on stack: 16: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_assert+0x2a) [0x920f4a] 15: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x424b7) [0x9584b7] 14: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x432c7) [0x9592c7] 13: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x445bc) [0x95a5bc] 12: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0xf7f1) [0x9257f1] 11: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_add_partition+0x262) [0x929072] 10: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x45f53) [0x95bf53] 9: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x4614f) [0x95c14f] 8: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_new+0x75) [0x929e55] 7: /usr/sbin/gpartedbin() [0x80901d6] 6: /usr/sbin/gpartedbin() [0x809fc8b] 5: /usr/sbin/gpartedbin() [0x80c0522] 4: /usr/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1(+0x30eb2) [0x55deb2] 3: /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0(+0x65dcf) [0xf95dcf] 2: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0(+0x596e) [0x5a996e] 1: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(clone+0x5e) [0x10c7a0e] Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:659 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. -- gparted crashes at startup - Assertion failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558431 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for GNU Parted. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
