It seems this bug is a duplicate of bug #81185 Please update GParted ASAP. As Graphical installer (ubiquity) doesn't use GParted anymore, it's pretty safe to update GParted to new upstream version even if we now are in upstream version freeze.
According to one email, sent to debbug #389510 by Magnus Holmgren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gparted "it seems to build fine without modification to ./debian/*." Updating gparted to new version (released on 2006-09-04) will fix lots of important (dataloss) bugs, look at the release notes (http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=444805&group_id=115843 , http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=446553&group_id=115843 , http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=467985&group_id=115843 , http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=115843&release_id=469155), also bugs like #54119, #37768, #86851 Btw, you should patch upstream solution of bug #37768, because it's sort of "dirty hack" (look at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324220#c38 for more info): Comment #36 from A. Murat Eren (points: 0) 2007-02-19 11:30 UTC [reply] I'd like to add some extra information. [When Gparted starts it creates] /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/gparted-disable-automount.fdi file, [which] causes some problems as you suspected before. Sometimes it remains there even GParted is not running anymore. Because of this file, HAL doesn't automount USB devices properly. There are similar bug reports in both Fedora's and Pardus's bug tracking systems (I know there is a FIXME in the code, I just wanted to imply that it really needs to be fixed ;)). ** Also affects: gparted (Baltix) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Update GParted to GParted 0.3.3 https://launchpad.net/bugs/74584 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
