Only one GParted process is *supposed* to be permitted to run at any one time. From testing the gparted 0.11.0 package in ubuntu 12.04, I can confirm that multiple running copies of GParted are permitted.
An enhancement was made to GParted 0.16.2 that permits only one instance of GParted to execute at a time. Following is a link to the relevant upstream bug report that also contains the "permit only one running instance" patch. gparted doesn't inhibit systemd mounting, leading to potential data loss https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676 GParted 0.16.2 was released upstream on September 18, 2013. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #701676 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981636 Title: gpartedbin crashed with SIGABRT in ped_assert() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/981636/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
