[Bug 664275] Re: Mint-10 RC Gparted Problems

[Phillip Susi]

Since this change in gparted is fully intentional I'm invaliding the
task against gparted.  If Mint has problems caused by the 1mb alignment,
then that needs fixed.  It also seems to me that the status of the Mint
task should not be Triaged, since it has not been assigned to a package
and given an importance level, but that's up to the Mint guys.


** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Mint-10 RC Gparted Problems

Status in The Linux Mint Distribution:
  Triaged
Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Using  linuxmint-9-gnome-dvd-i386.iso in a Live session one can use its GParted 0.5.1 to initialise (Device, Create Partition Table...) and then create a 5.5GiB primary, bootable fat32 partition, plus an extended partition containing a fat32 logical drive, all on an '8GB' or '16GB' key.
  By then using Linux Live USB Creator version 2.6 (final) and that ISO file, one can create persistent LinuxMint-9 on those USB keys, that works very well with its extra data storage.

  But then using linuxmint-10-rc-i386.iso in a Live session, its Gparted
  0.6.2 insists upon inserting 1 MiB of unallocated space in front of
  any created partitions, which eventually results in 'persistent
  Mint-10 on a USB key' not working properly and being unable to Take
  Screenshots to document those problems.

  However, if LinuxMint-9's Gparted is instead used to prepare the USB key, the then created persistent LinuxMint-10 RC key works quite well, solving a lot of problems and even allowing Screenshots to be taken.
  So, I don't know if it's possible, but please consider reverting to LinuxMint-9's version of Gparted for LinuxMint-10 formal release.
