I get an unknown bridge error when running smartctl. gsmartcontrol fails this way: dt1:sudo gsmartcontrol (gsmartcontrol:6500): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/brad/.config/ibus/bus is not root! <warn> [app] SmartctlParser::parse_section_info_property(): Unknown property "Rotation Rate" <warn> [hz] Warning: exit: Command line did not parse. <warn> [app] execute_smartctl(): Error while executing smartctl binary. <warn> [app] StorageDevice::execute_device_smartctl(): Error while executing smartctl binary. <warn> [app] SmartctlParser::parse_section_info_property(): Unknown property "Vendor" <warn> [app] SmartctlParser::parse_section_info_property(): Unknown property "Product" <warn> [app] SmartctlParser::parse_section_info_property(): Unknown property "Revision" <warn> [app] SmartctlParser::parse_section_info_property(): Unknown property "Logical block size" <warn> [app] SmartctlParser::parse_section_info_property(): Unknown property "Device type" terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' what(): basic_string::substr
The odd thing is I'm pretty sure I ran smartctl several years ago and it worked. A hardware problem is a possibility, but I have 2 of these drives and seeing similar issues which cropped up after a switch from fedora to xubuntu. I got one drive working by plugging it into a mac and formatting as fat32. I'll try that later. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368299 Title: External USB hard drive format fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1368299/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
