Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linhdd
linHDD should be run as the root user, but it broken when running it as
the root user.
linHDD is a promising replacement for disks-admin which was removed from
Ubuntu starting from Edgy. Essentially linHDD is a front-end to cfdisk.
It is of very little use to run it as a non-root user since it is not
possible to do any operation. In particular, an error message appears
"/dev/hda: Permission denied", and the "Partition" and "Format"
operations are greyed-out.
When running as the root user, the following errors appear:
$ gksudo linHDD
File "/usr/bin/linHDD", line 534, in ?
main()
File "/usr/bin/linHDD", line 529, in main
DriveWin()
File "/usr/bin/linHDD", line 387, in __init__
self.frac = float(self.perc.rstrip("%")) / 100
ValueError: empty string for float()
Additional Information:
- Tested on Ubuntu Edgy x86.
