Public bug reported: sudo blkid command hangs as well and does not return anything in an acceptable time.
when trying to launch gparted from the command line I get an error message. If I close the hanging window of gparted "Scanning all devices..." then when attempting a relaunch it crash at startup. I had this kind of behaviour before for blkid and later on it reverted to a normal behaviour. Now again blkid is not working and gparted is for the first time not working as well. e.g. I have to wait for 10 to 15 mn to get it up and running. This erratic behaviour of blkid and gparted is unerving. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ** Affects: gparted (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159288 Title: GParted hang while Scanning all devices for 10 to 15 mn To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1159288/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
