This should have been upstream bug report, it doesn't look distro specific. Anyway, to get some useful info, it would be better to run partitionmanager with some debugging:

This might tell you where it is getting stuck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890236 Title: kde partition manager is waiting it appears for /dev/fd0 (no floppy drive) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partitionmanager/+bug/1890236/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
