Thank you Luca and Seth for clarifying the problem for me. If I understand this correctly, one of the best ways to avoid this problem is to not use Glib::ustring when reading data directly from the disk.
Luca, I will investigate removing the Glib::ustring stuff from the GParted_Core::get_filesystem() method to avoid this potential problem for other file system types. Seth, I was about to apply the patch from comment #12 but noticed there might be an undesired side effect. It appears to me that if a match is found for the BTRFS_SIGNATURE, then the method will exit returning FS_BTRFS, but that the following line to close the device will not be executed. Have I interpreted the patch code correctly? If so, would you like to rework the patch to permit closing of the device? If not, I can rework the patch. I would still give credit to you though since you found the underlying problem. :-) -- gparted crash at start: glibmm-ERROR ** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/617885 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
