[Bug 1078445] Re: Xubuntu install fail due partition auto mount defeats Gparted

[Chris Bainbridge]

The patch to fix this issue in Ubuntu 10
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/588530/comments/12
relies on there being a "udisks" executable and running "udisks-daemon"
process. The 14.04 livecd appears to have udisks2 installed which seems
to have a different executable and daemon. So it appears that the
gparted wrapper hasn't been updated to cope with udisks2 and this
problem is going to affect all Ubuntu 14.04 (not just Xubuntu).

  Xubuntu install fail due partition auto mount defeats Gparted

Bug description:
  Wanted to install Xbuntu 12.10 along side Win 7 and Ubuntu 12.10.
  Needed to create 4 further partitions (boot,swap,/ and home) in a pre-
  exsisting extended partition. Booted from a Xubuntu 12.10 Live CD on
  my HP Envy Sleekbook and ran up Gparted.

  What I expected to happen:
  I expected to be able to shrink a 230gig partition and create 4 additional partitions. To my surprise the extended partition was already mounted when I selected unmount partition in Gparted, Gparted completed the action but then Xubuntu remounted it automatically and opened a filemanager window for every other partition as well.

  What happened instead:
   I found I could not unmount any partition without it being automatically remounted.

  Installed Xbuntu 12.10 on my Desktop (clean install from a CD). Using
  Gparted I cannot unmount a spare partition without Xubuntu
  automatically remounting it.

  The Automount feature needs an operator control to allow use of
  Gparted.
