Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gparted
Somehow, I managed to mess up my primary HD. It boots correctly, but I cannot
use gparted in combination with it.
The error I get on the console:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo gparted
[sudo] password for tim:
======================
libparted : 1.7.1
======================
Partities mogen elkaar niet overlappen.
Translated that would be "Cannot have overlapping partitions", I guess.
The problem however, is that the gparted gui does not show any error at all!
Instead, the hard drive is listed completely empty, only containing "Free
Space".
A new user, launching gparted from the gnome menu, could get seriously confused
by this, and wipe out an hard drive actually containing valuable data. There
should be at least a warning dialog when browsing the hard drive, if not a
fatal error preventing the user to undertake any actions on that specific drive.
Some details:
Running ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04, fully updated, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic, with
gparted v0.3.5 and libparted 1.7.1
