[Bug 964694] Re: 12.04 Beta 2 gparted won't run

[Curtis Gedak]

I just did some testing with the Beta1 precise-desktop-amd64.iso.

If I try to install gparted prior to performing a "sudo apt-get update",
then I too receive an error.  The error mentioned somting about the IP
address for  the libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a package cannot be found.  I would
have copied the message here, but Beta1 is not very stable on my
computer and crashed while I tried to update this bug in Firefox.

I was able to work around the GParted library install problem with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gparted

@jerrylamos,

Would you be able to try running "sudo apt-get update" before running
"sudo apt-get install gparted"?

  jerry at Aspire1:~$ sudo gparted
  /usr/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  Looks to me like apt-get install gparted did not load the library
  libgtkmm-2.4.so.1

  Tried synaptic re-install of gparted.  Same problem.

  Anything to do to get gparted running?

  Thanks, Jerry
