Package: gparted Version: 0.12.1-2+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I tried to start gparted up (with "sudo gparted"), but it hangs while displaying the message "Scanning all devices...".
I searched around, and found a workaround that worked for me: I unloaded the "floppy" kernel module with rmmod, after which I tried to load gparted again, and it worked. $ sudo gparted /dev/sdd ====================== libparted : 2.3 ====================== ^C $ sudo rmmod floppy $ sudo gparted /dev/sdd I don't actually have a floppy drive. The error might be caused by a line in my /etc/fstab which was automatically added by the Wheezy installation process: "/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0" This might be an error with automatic device detection (in the kernel?), I don't know. I found the workaround here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/gparted-just-hangs-and-i-dont-know-why-502353/ *** -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gparted depends on: ii libatkmm-1.6-1 2.22.6-1 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libglibmm-2.4-1c2a 2.32.1-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a 1:2.24.2-1 ii libpangomm-1.4-1 2.28.4-1 ii libparted0debian1 2.3-12 ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.2.10-0.2 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.3 gparted recommends no packages.
