Ubuntu :: GParted Is Crashing On Startup?
Nov 26, 2010
Code:
matt@Matt:~$ gksu gparted
======================
libparted : 2.3
======================
Backtrace has 15 calls on stack:
15: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_assert+0x2a) [0xc4b87a]
[Code].....
Same thing happens if I use sudo or after su root. It prompts me for my password to do administrative tasks, the GUI pops up for a second, looking like it's scanning stuff, and then disappears. That's what happens in the terminal. I'm running 10.10. Reinstalling did nothing. No big deal if I can't get it fixed; I have a parted magic LiveCD and a backtrack liveCD and a backtrack install with working thingers.

DISCLAIMER: I know I should go to the gparted forums for this question. I'm at the ubuntu forums though because I think the reason is that Ubuntu is somehow conflicting with my BackTrack linux installation; it worked fine before I installed it.Reinstalling did nothing. Trying to run from Terminal gives:
Code:
matt@Matt:~$ gparted
Inhibit all polling failed: Only uid 0 is authorized to inhibit the daemon

i'm using lucid and have ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB graphics card. I installed ATI's drivers and XBMC used to work perfectly, but now after i disabled them and activated them again i have this problem:
Quote:
igor@igor-desktop:~$ xbmc
/usr/share/themes/MurrinaLoveGray/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:50: Murrine configuration option "scrollbar_color" is no longer supported and will be ignored.
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server "�."
after 137 requests (136 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
When i start it,i see very strange image,like hundreds of rectangles with parts of images from games,applications,even parts of my Windows desktop (which is on another partition). And after 2-3 seconds,it exits.

The other night I ran an update, which after it was done said it required a reboot for libconsole to finish updating. I had some other things to do so I rebooted. When I came back and logged into GNOME with Compiz it took forever to load, when it did it loaded metacity instead of compiz. I tried starting it manually(with compiz, and compiz manager) but each time it starts all the window decorations come up but I can't interact with the desktop at all(I can move the mouse but thats it). The only way to make X responsive again is to go into another TTY and kill compiz. When I do that there is no debug information thats useful.

I am running OpenSuse 11.3, I have Banshee 1.8.0 and I want to use it to manage my music but now it's crashing as it starts up. I had just moved all my music to the computer and banshee had just scanned it into the library and then it crashed, and now it crashes every time I try to run it. I have been using OpenSuse for the last couple years but I am still a novice when it comes to the command line and debugging.

I have 3 Ubuntu installations & a PCLINUXOS, plus Windows XP installed on one hard disk. I still can boot to each one of them and can mount each one using Ubuntu.
The problem "may" have occurred when I reduced the size of some linux partitions using gparted. I still have plenty of space in each of those partitions.
When I started gparted all of the HD was unallocated. I did that from each ubuntu installation and the PCLINUX installation, plus LIVECDs. All indicated the space was unallocated.
When I did an fdisk -l from a Puppy Linux LiveCD I got a normal start and ends of each partition.
When I tried it from Ubuntu installation or live cd, I received the following types of responses:
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda5
Disk /dev/sda5: 28.5 GB, 28566397440 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3473 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -u /dev/sda5
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 3473.There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Plus the Windows partition seems to go over its limits.
Since all of my OS installations are still working, I don't know how critical this is. From reading another post, I understand this might be able to be fixed by making some changes in fstab.

Whatever I do, I get this:

After using Gparted to create a new partition on my hard drive, the system(lucid) sometimes doesnt boot properly and sometimes it does boot correctly ..
This is how it looks now:
So the pc starts up .. and just before you (normally) see the ubuntu logo i see a row of sentences passing by fast, and then the screen becomes black.

I just installed a dual boot of ubuntu with XP on my laptop. I'm planning on deleting XP altogether and keeping ubuntu. Now, as I understand the best way to do this is to go to GParted, delete the ntfs partition, and format it to ext3. Does this sound right? Now the problem is I can't seem to get GParted installed. I go to the terminal window and type sudo apt-get install gparted but it doesn't work. I get the following messege.
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information.. Done
E: Couldn't find package gparte

I have a Ubuntu system where the internet has been whitelisted so that I can't use Synaptic. I was wondering if there was a way to install GParted without Synaptic? Do something with the ISO file perhaps? Or would this turn out to be quite complicated?

I have what is a weird problem, at least I think it is. I deleted some files and now my partitions do not show up in Gparted. Instead, the entire disk shows up as unallocated space. I am still able to run every partition, one of which is ubuntu and another which is Windows without any other apparent problems. here is my fdisk -l:
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders

I have a messed up system, or so I think. I have all sorts of partition issues that I just don't understand. I may have installed Ubuntu multipe times (GRUB show 5+ copys) along side my copy of W7. GParted show two Unused partition spaces, one massive on that it cant read completely (ntfs), a LinuxSwap, something called (ext4) and something called (extended).
What is going on? I recently deleted a virtual machine, but it looked like this even before this. How can I allocate all of my space only to W7 and one Ubuntu OS? Pic of GParted is attached.

I tossed a 500GB hard drive into my machine (Ubuntu 64 8.10) so that I could back some files up. This drive when last used was part of a software RAID (no longer in use.) I deleted the partition that was on it, and tried to reformat using Gparted to ext3...but it won't work. The only error message I get is that it failed. Details do not provide any additional information. I went to the command line and attempted to mount it just to see what would happen, and I got this:
Code:
~$ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/backup1
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'
Apparently, it still thinks it's part of the RAID. What can I do to erase and reformat this drive?

specs: toshiba lappy
110gb hdd, 1gb ram, core 2 duo 1.6ghz, nvidia 7600
windows xp pro service pack 3
jaunty jackalope
my problem is: i wanted to repartition (shrink xp and create partition for data storage) my hdd using gparted live cd 0.5.2-9. everything went fine until i clicked exit and reboot. after the cd tray automatically ejected i got a flood of "VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk srO". this doesnt stop until i press enter. after that it reboots normally and there is no problem with the os.
my questions: 1) is that flood anything bad, is there a way to avoid this. i read somewhere that the problem is solved when using the terminal sudo eject - then push back the cd tray - then sudo eject -t. i tried that but it said failed because gparted cd is in use.
2) the first time that happened i didnt know what to do, so it flooded like for 15min or more until i pressed enter. my question is if the flood is being saved anywhere on the pc so that i have to delete it?
and a question regarding extended partition: 3) i have 50gb left that i want to use for data storage. i read that you can only have one extended partition. so since there is already one extended partition from ubuntu, i cant have another one for windows? so i can only make the data partition as primary or is there another reason why the "create extended partition" is greyed out?
last question: 4) when i set up the partition for swap i made it 1032gb big but in gparted it shows 980.53mb. is that still enough or why is it like that because somehow the sizes of the partitions seem a bit different than how they originally should be. im actually used in seeing the size shrinking a bit but i found it weird that the ubuntu partition shows 4.76 when it should be 4.5gb. i know its not much different but im just curious to know why..
partitions order: windows - unallocated (-->data partition) - ubuntu (primary) - home folder (extended) - swap
in windows the partitions are shown as: windows xp (31,74gb) - unallocated (50,05gb) - 4,76gb unkown - 24,27gb unkown - 981mb uknown
in gparted: its almost the same, only difference: there is unallocated space (7 or 8mb) between home folder and swap

I built a multi-boot flash drive using the instructions here but unfortunately, those instructions don't include gparted, and I much prefer gparted to the partition managers that are included. How would I go about loading gparted with grub4dos? Either the zip or the iso version is okay with me, I just want to be able to load the live version of the program. I do know that it is included in the ubuntu livecd that I have loaded on the flash drive, but I prefer the standalone version.

I removed my Ubuntu 10.04 partition from my hard disk with GParted because it didn't install properly and there were no solutions available. After I removed it, I set it up to extend my Vista partition into the unallocated space. It's been going for three hours so far (which I expected) but the progress bar is now stuck. The timer's stopped and everything; it's not increasing infinitely like when your internet cuts out when downloading something, it's just stopped. Here's a screenshot:[URL]..
I know to resist the allure of the Cancel button, but I don't really know what to do here. It's been sitting here for about half an hour with no sign of budging.

sda2 and sda5 are the same partition. i set up sda5 because i wanted it to be ext4 just like sda1. i thought if i went ahead and formatted the second partition to ext4 it would just show up, automount and always be there. in my case it hasnt worked that way. is anything wrong with this, if so, how do i fix it?

I have a laptop with a 320GB disk. Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 It has 8 partitions: [From Testdisk]
[code]....
Long story short, after reinstalling windows 7 and messing around a little with its partition and the other ntfs one (resizing etc); Gparted won't open the disk. It shows all the disk as unallocated space, And throws a message to the terminal which says something like "Can't have a partition out of the disk." Funny thing is that *almost* everything is working fine. Everything works except that ubuntu can't use the swap. (Dmesg says: "Swap area shorter than signature indicates") Also, testdisk, if i run a deep search for partitions, finds the last partition twice, but the second time the partition goes from 37129 0 1 to 40240 254 63 , while the disk ends at 38913 255 63. The problem is that I can't use Gparted now and I want to resize a partition.Also I believe that going without swap is not good for ubuntu.

I have a striped array set up on two disks. It has an ntfs windows partition, an ext4 /home partition, and an ext4 / partition. Both operating systems work flawlessly with this configuration. I bought a new drive that I want to copy my partitions onto, so I installed gparted. When I opened it up, it didn't see my partitions. It has always worked for me in the past. I am running a fresh (about a week old) install of ubuntu 10.10. Before that, I had 10.04 and gparted saw my RAID drive and the partitions on it, in fact, I believe I originally created the partitions with it. Does anyone have any clue why the new version would behave this way

I'm trying to open GParted to resize a partition so I can Dual boot with Windows 7.
I downloaded GParted through the software center, accessed it through "System > Administrator > ", type my password it, the GParted screen pops up and it's all grayed out except for the scanning feature, which is active. After about 5-10 seconds the program closes.

I used to run Windows and Ubuntu side by side. I have removed Windows and only run Linux now. However, when I try to release the partitions for use with Linux, Gparted just doesn't give me the correct resize options. Have attached a file, so you can see my problem. I believe its because the /dev/sda4 drive is sandwiched between the two unallocated partitions, and I just have no option of resizing into those empty ones. I have tried formatting them, but it just won't play. Ignore the fact they have locked keys, I have been using the Live CD to boot, but this screenshot was taken from my normal login.

I have accidentally deleted the first booting parition (Windows 7) with GParted, so then I immediately googled and found an utility testdisk which has successfully recovered the parition and it can boot and be seen from linux again. Only Exception is GParded, which sees an unallocated space on whole disk from this point!
I found this post [URL].. which looks like solution, but I can't figure he count a number of sectors 978726293. 500107862016 / 978726293 = 510.978263885 what is near to 512 (sector size), but not equal. So I don't understand the arithmetic.
