Public bug reported: Binary package hint: python-parted
Disk.target is implemented as a property with a setter but that will try to set the .type of the underlying PedDisk object, which is readonly. I'd report this bug upstream but the captcha at https://admin.fedoraproject.org is unbeatable. >>> disk = Disk(device=d) >>> disk.type 'mac' >>> disk.type = 'msdos' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/parted/disk.py", line 194, in <lambda> type = property(lambda s: s.__disk.type.name, lambda s, v: setattr(s.__disk, "type", parted.diskType[v])) TypeError: readonly attribute >>> ped= disk.getPedDisk() >>> ped.type = parted.diskType['msdos'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: readonly attribute ** Affects: python-parted (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686004 Title: Disk.target seems to be writable but fails when you try to do so -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
