Work-around is to get gsmartcontrol to use an older version of smartctl (which it depends on, being a wrapper for smartctl). I'm guessing smartctl 6.2 generates output that gsmartcontrol is not parsing correctly.
As root, do "sudo which smartctl" and/or "sudo whereis smartctl" For each one found to "smartctl --version" to see if you have 5.x or 6.x. Temporarily rename smartctl that 6.2 (maybe to smartctl-6.2). Leave in place any smartctl 5.x version, and note where it is at. Now "sudo gsmartcontrol" and if it finds the 5.x version it will run ok. If it does not find smartctl, it will tell you to use the prefs to tell gsmartcontrol where the smartctl is that you want it to use. I'll see if I can figure out the patch needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1231229 Title: gsmartcontrol not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gsmartcontrol/+bug/1231229/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
