If I recall correctly this is an old problem that was fixed in newer versions of the libparted library used by GParted.
I assume that you are running on an older version of Ubuntu. If you only wish to use the latest version of GParted, you might try booting from media containing GParted Live. http://gparted.org/livecd.php -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543704 Title: Gparted crashed on loading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1543704/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
