https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468132 --- Comment #13 from nickl --- Ok... digging some more to try and find out what actually happened. I do have https://github.com/exfatprogs/exfatprogs under my git repos, but it was November 28th (as per the ls on /usr/local/sbin) so I really can't remember what I was actually trying to accomplish anymore. At least I can confirm that it was from building from source which by default `make install` points at /usr/local as prefix of course. Mystery solved. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468132 --- Comment #10 from nickl --- Ok looks to be working, I removed the binaries from /usr/local/sbin and partitionmanager now picks the /usr/sbin versions up No complaints anymore and it appears to be sorted -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

That appears to be correct yes. ``` $ apt-file list exfatprogs exfatprogs: /usr/sbin/dump.exfat exfatprogs: /usr/sbin/exfatlabel exfatprogs: /usr/sbin/fsck.exfat exfatprogs: /usr/sbin/mkfs.exfat exfatprogs: /usr/sbin/tune.exfat exfatprogs: /usr/share/doc/exfatprogs/changelog.Debian.gz exfatprogs: /usr/share/doc/exfatprogs/copyright exfatprogs: /usr/share/man/man8/dump.exfat.8.gz exfatprogs: /usr/share/man/man8/exfatlabel.8.gz exfatprogs: /usr/share/man/man8/fsck.exfat.8.gz exfatprogs: /usr/share/man/man8/mkfs.exfat.8.gz exfatprogs: /usr/share/man/man8/tune.exfat.8.gz $ apt list exfatprogs Listing...

It's the only one that it complaints about. Now that you mention it, I am sure I had apfs working too.

[partitionmanager] [Bug 468132] New: Lost ability to detect installed exfatprogs file system support tools
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468132 Bug ID: 468132 Summary: Lost ability to detect installed exfatprogs file system support tools Classification: Applications Product: partitionmanager Version: 22.08.1 Platform: Ubuntu OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: critical Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu Reporter: k...@jigsoft.co.za Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 157829 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=157829&action=edit Recent label change on exfat partition (without formatting) SUMMARY *** Out of the blue, I really can't say what has changed, one day it was working I was able to change the label of a new Seagate Expansion which came installed with a 200MB fat32 EFI partition and the remaining space allocated to an exfat partition. Another day when I launched KDE Partition Manager I was prompted with the Missing File System Support Packages prompt, however exfatprogs was still installed. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE Cannot give you steps to reproduce, and unfortunately I cannot seem to find any configuration or settings or memory dump which can give me an indication of where the application is looking for the files. The best I can do is the attached screenshots with as much detail as it seems is available to me. OBSERVED RESULT KDE Partition Manager is aware that it does not find the installed exfatprogs file system support tools. PROBLEM FINDING Tried to find some configuration file or settings for the support tools. Reinstalled exfatprogs Tried to Rescan Support Tried to edit the table in the File System Support window, specifically the Support Tools tab Looked at open files and memory maps in systemmonitor for the running partitionmanager process Read through the documentation, awesome for having docs, it is rather redundant, does not elaborate on what you get at face value. All that is left is to start poking in the dark in hopes I hit something so hopefully you can find something else. Hmmm that reminds me, I haven't looked at the source yet now where would you find that? EXPECTED RESULT Some indication that it is actually looking for something when I press Rescan Support Some indication somewhere of what it is looking for and where it expects to find it Some way to configure where to find what it is looking for None of the above it should just know where to find what it is looking for (but this does not help to debug or problem solve) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 22.10 kinetic (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION exfatprogs version : 1.1.3 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
