[Bug 1543704] Re: Gparted crashed on loading
@Nishihama , This issue is caused when there is less than two unallocated sectors between logical partitions. The Extended Boot Record is stored in the unallocated sector area. In your situation the problem arises with sda5 and sda6 sda5. 332625887 end of sda5 332625888 start of sda6 The source of the crash is in the libparted library, and hence will show up with partition tools that use libparted, such as parted or gparted. This issue was also reported in upstream Debian.

[Bug 1543704] Re: Gparted crashed on loading
Actually Curtis, there have been a few reports of this upstream recently. It seems that some partitioning tool out there likes to start logical volumes on the very first sector following the previous logical volume, rather than leaving one or two sectors to hold the EBR, and instead locate the EBR for that volume somewhere else. libparted can't deal with this. antoni helms, if you could add the output of fdisk -l that would help confirm that is the case here. Also if you can tell us what sort of partitioning tools you have been using to get the disk into this state that might be helpful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543704 Title: Gparted crashed on loading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1543704/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1543704] Re: Gparted crashed on loading
If I recall correctly this is an old problem that was fixed in newer versions of the libparted library used by GParted. I assume that you are running on an older version of Ubuntu. If you only wish to use the latest version of GParted, you might try booting from media containing GParted Live. http://gparted.org/livecd.php -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543704 Title: Gparted crashed on loading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1543704/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
