Also, I'm indebted to you for discovering this and hassling me until I managed to reproduce it locally. :-) -- Gparted should return 1 Cancel when its operation fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/46961 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks for re-testing! This is very good news.

[Bug 46961] Re: [Bug 46961] Re: Gparted should return 1 Cancel when its operation fails
I can finally report some good news. Now every time I try (using the latest CD), I get the attached error dialog. The dialog is blank and doesn't have any GUI buttons, but if I close it from the title bar, ubiquity takes me back to the manual partition screen *and* my hard disk isn't hosed. Hooray! I suggest that a simple message and Ok button be put in the error dialog -- maybe something about the operation failed, perhaps you need to run checkdisk on existing partitions before attempting manual partitioning. But honestly, as long as it doesn't erase data I couldn't care less about the error dialog :-D Thanks again for your diligence on this. I think I'm good now -- and I hope no one else can reproduce this error anymore either.

[Bug 46961] Re: Gparted should return 1 Cancel when its operation fails
Just out of interest, did gparted display an error that it failed to resize the NTFS filesystem? I can reproduce this problem here, but only with an error displayed by gparted (and yes, it does then go on to damage the NTFS filesystem). ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: ubiquity = gparted -- Gparted should return 1 Cancel when its operation fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/46961 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 46961] Re: Gparted should return 1 Cancel when its operation fails
I think this should fix it, but I'd appreciate confirmation. At least, it ought to fix it for anyone who actually gets an error from gparted when the resize fails. If gparted doesn't even notice at all that the resize fails, then there is a much deeper problem ... gparted (0.1-0ubuntu9) dapper; urgency=low * debian/patches/safe-apply-operations.patch: If an operation fails to apply, cancel immediately rather than blundering on and potentially letting later actions in the operations list damage existing filesystems (closes: Malone #46961). -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue, 30 May 2006 13:01:14 +0100 -- Gparted should return 1 Cancel when its operation fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/46961 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 46961] Re: Gparted should return 1 Cancel when its operation fails
Cool, downloading the latest CD now, and will try it in the a.m. Thanks a ton for your diligence on trying to fix this before release... but, I don't think gparted has been emitting error codes in most of my tests so I don't know if the latest patch will help. Not to be alarmist... ;-) but I'm sure you share my concern that this could be a data-destroying bug in the final release (even if infrequent) and I don't want 6.06 to have any bad press. p.s. This bug is still marked unconfirmed and severity normal, is that still your assessment? Seems confirmed and major show-stopper to me. -- Gparted should return 1 Cancel when its operation fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/46961 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
