[Bug 1171205] [NEW] Endlessly scan without finding the partitions

[dino99]

Public bug reported:

Raring i386 + gnome3-team ppa , logged with gnome-shell

I've tried to format an usb key by right-clicking on the usb support
(mounted as sdc) inside nautilus, filled the required formatting
settings, but that stick is only unmounted without beeing formated.

For the second try, i start gparted from the dash, but get again an
other issue: gparted interface open and start scanning about devices &
partitions, but cant find one. Then i start gparted from the terminal,
the interface is again opened and the endless scanning goezs on. Inside
the terminal, i only get "libparted 2.3" as a comment, nothing else.

So i suppose gparted need to be upgraded to work with gnome 3.8 , as
none of the several hdds partitions nor the usb stick are found.

note: raring's gparted is quite old: the latest stable is now 0.14.1-6 (since a few months)
