Curtis, thanks, your suggestion worked. That wasn't the lib that gparted said was missing. As far as I can remember any time I've installed gparted there were lib called out to be installed too. Not this time, so re-installing the lib fixed it. Any way for us users to know what lib to re-install? Appreciate the help. My only recourse would have been to install ubuntu again. Here's the log:
