The Testing Area :: gaprted.uci

I also got 'No devices detected', even after editing ld.so.conf

In the terminal window:

======================
libparted : 1.8.8
======================
Invalid argument during read on /dev/hda
Invalid argument during read on /dev/hdc

and after inserting a usb pen:

Invalid argument during read on /dev/sda

Edit:
frugal boot from freedos:loadlin
dsl-4.4RC2

Hmm - I'm a bit stuck with machines to test this on. I tried again with a usb boot on my laptop and gparted detects the ntfs hd - I cannot really do anything with the hd as it has a windows system on it.

My old desktop has scsi hd that will not work with grub and gives the "invalid argument" error mentioned above. If I plug in a usb stick however, it is detected by gparted.

It seems that there's some kind of error in the gparted extension but, without any other hardware at my disposal, I'm not sure what I can do to help fix the problem...

Why not use a partition manager that boots from a cd (eg, parted magic) ?

Sure - that's always an option. I also made a gparted live cd that behaves in the same way as the gparted extension on my hardware...

I have a different error Juanito, currently testing with gtk+-2.12.9.uci.

gparted doesn't start from the menu (I'm also on an old dsl).

If I do

Code Sample

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/gparted/lib:/opt/ntfsprogs-2/lib

then

Code Sample

$ ldd /opt/gparted/sbin/gpartedbin

shows all libs found aok. So far so good.

But

Code Sample

$ sudo ldd /opt/gparted/sbin/gpartedbin

says

Code Sample

libparted-1.8.so.8 => not found

But gparted GUI starts up from a root shell ok:

Code Sample

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/gparted/lib:/opt/ntfsprogs-2/lib
# /opt/gparted/sbin/gpartedbin

However it doesn't see any devices.
