The bug still persists in the official Feisty.I just wrote a shell script to kill gnome-volume-manager and then start gparted.
$sudo mv /usr/bin/gparted /usr/bin/gpart $sudo gedit /usr/bin/gparted Add the following lines:- #!/bin/sh killall gnome-volume-manager gksu /usr/bin/gpart /usr/bin/gnome-volume-manager exit Save the file. $sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/gparted Now open /usr/share/applications/gparted.desktop with gedit or nano (as root) find the line which says exec=gksu gparted and change this to exec=gparted save the file. This script kills gnome-volume-manager and then starts gparted.On closing gparted , it runs gnome-volume-manager , so that the CDs and USB drives will be automounted. -- gnome-volume-manager mounting Partition, while working with GParted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
