[Bug 1318241] Re: gparted crashes on scan

[Mikhail]

My only workaround for the moment is that I'm using the precise version
of gparted and libparted0debian1, which in newer versions of trusty are
resulting in a crash and I have to kill gpartedbin everytime when
gparted starts to scan for removable devices, I'm not a coder myself and
I can't provide a fix in a source code in order to be able to do this,
but apt-pinning is a way to go in case I have to swap versions without
upgrading one of these packages, in this case gparted libparted0debian1
are the main reason for needing downgrade until the next version of
gparted is fixed.

I know that this bugtracker is reffering to the latest version of
gparted so I can't suggest anything else so far.

I hope that's being useful and I hope this will help others to struggle
with the bug.

:)

Title:
  gparted crashes on scan

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  a disk attached has as corrupt partition table.
  When Gparted is started it complains about it and falls back to "a copy" but then later it shows that libparted has a bug.
  When running from a terminal, this is the output:
  (gpartedbin:23707): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 750 was not found when attempting to remove it
  Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sdc
  The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that will be used.
