Present in Ubuntu 10.10 Here's how I triggered the bug.
Use the shred command to zero out a partition: shred -vz -n 1 /dev/sda2 Running gparted then results in: dlaroche...@sileo:~$ sudo gparted ====================== libparted : 2.3 ====================== glibmm-ERROR **: unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler: what: basic_string::_S_create aborting... After manually formatting the partition using mkfs.ntfs gparted starts up fine. -- This bug is important because: Zeroing out a partition for security reasons and then wanting to reformat it is perfectly common behavior. SInce gparted is the default tool for formatting a partition I would expect this to work. -- gparted crash at start: glibmm-ERROR ** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/617885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
