Comment 1 Nate Graham 2024-02-06 22:01:15 UTC 
I'm afraid Partition Manager 21.12 is unfortunately no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE. It's over two years old! If you need support for this older version please contact your distro, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older non-LTS releases.

Thanks for understanding!
Comment 2 Andrius Štikonas 2024-02-06 22:20:29 UTC 
Most likely it is some kind of misconfiguration in your particular system anyway as I've tried runing it on Kubuntu 22.04 myself and it worked.

As an ugly workaround if everything else fails, you could try to run it as "sudo partitionmanager" (though running GUI apps as root is not recommended).
