Created attachment 133075 [details] Error Log from KDE SUMMARY In short im a very long time PC User and im very experienced about Hardware, but im new to Linux and my english is far from perfect (sorry about that), my External Seagate HDD is running fine in Win/Linux. I try'ed to created my first Partition in Linux (besides manual install where i wasn't using KDE Partition Manager, i guess) so i though first its my fault... but i was wrong. I started KDE Partition Manager. I removed my old (only) Partition on my 1TB USB drive. I created a new Partition Table (GPT) and clicked Apply. I create a new (Primary/Single) EXT4 Partition but i get a error message (uploaded in attachment). I try it again but still failed, i created a MS-DOS Partition Table clicked Apply and then i gave it another try on the partition... but failed again, with the same error as in the attachment. Workaround: I choosed new Partition Table (GPT) but this time "i don't clicked on Apply", instead i choosed the Partition EXT4 with no differend settings as befor (Primary/Single 1TB Partition) and it worked. I think there just must be atleast 2 differend jobs or it comes to this error. Maybe im wrong, i don't try to reproduce this error... im just happy that it works now, but i want to let you guys know, there must be a major bug in the GUI or something else. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1.Remove all Partition and click apply. 2.Create Primary Single Partition without no other Pendingjobs. 3.
