Curtis, thanks for the comment. I thought I had updated let's try again: So I did:
sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude safe-upgrade then sudo apt-get remove gparted sudo apt-get install gparted try again: jerry@Aspire1:~$ sudo gparted /usr/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So what is this libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 ? find couldn't find it. Any way to install it? I happen to have 12.04 lubuntu beta 2 candidate on a notebook on the other table. That's different from ubuntu. Gparted installed and ran. The libraries it loaded did not include libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 but maybe that's a difference with lubunntu vs. ubuntu. As I remember from other installs of gparted some libraries are installed. In this case none were: jerry@Aspire1:~$ sudo apt-get install gparted Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
