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 ** Affects: gparted (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: error gparted overlapping -- Gparted does not display an error dialog on overlapping partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218183 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
