I should be able to try it again this week. However, I just tried running gparted with an Imation 4 GB stick straight from the packaging. lsusb shows: Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0718:044e Imation Corp.
I was going to put dban on it, and I get a crash similar to the one in the bug description: ====================== libparted : 2.2 ====================== Backtrace has 16 calls on stack: 16: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_assert+0x2a) [0x87af0a] 15: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x42507) [0x8b2507] 14: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x43317) [0x8b3317] 13: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x4460c) [0x8b460c] 12: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0xf7b1) [0x87f7b1] 11: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_add_partition+0x262) [0x883032] 10: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x45fa3) [0x8b5fa3] 9: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x4619f) [0x8b619f] 8: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_new+0x75) [0x883e15] 7: /usr/sbin/gpartedbin() [0x80901e6] 6: /usr/sbin/gpartedbin() [0x809fc9b] 5: /usr/sbin/gpartedbin() [0x80c0532] 4: /usr/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1(+0x30eb2) [0x4b3eb2] 3: /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0(+0x65def) [0x61cdef] 2: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0(+0x596e) [0x6a596e] 1: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(clone+0x5e) [0x106aa4e] Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:659 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. This happened: 1. when the stick was connected before gparted was run. 2. gparted was run, then the stick inserted and the drives refreshed. I am making an image of the stick with dd, and I can upload it if it would be useful - suggestions for locations welcome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545911 Title: Cannot use gparted -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
