[Bug 1171205] Re: Endlessly scan without finding the partitions

[dino99]

I does not have a floppy drive (deactivated inside bios) and nothing
hangs.

As the partitions , on that system, was made a long time ago (Jaunty
time), i suppose that the raring's gparted have some hard time to read
these old partitions. So i'm going to start with new ext4 partitions in
a few days , to start with something cleaner.

But its strange that no warnings/errors complaint about something:
nothing logged, nothing into a terminal, gparted gui does  not warn
about some partition or an other.

Title:
  Endlessly scan without finding the partitions

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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 goes 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)
