Description Arthur 2009-02-23 08:20:31 UTC 
Version:           1.0.0-BETA1 (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          GCC 4.3.3 x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Compile went fine, but scan takes too long.

After

partitionmanager(30126): Attempt to use QAction "toggleDockDevices" with KXMLGUIFactory!
partitionmanager(30126): Attempt to use QAction "toggleDockOperations" with KXMLGUIFactory!
partitionmanager(30126): Attempt to use QAction "toggleDockInformation" with KXMLGUIFactory!
partitionmanager(30126): Attempt to use QAction "toggleDockLog" with KXMLGUIFactory!
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Rescan devices..."
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Device found: ATA SAMSUNG HD320KJ"
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Device found: ATA ST3320620NS"
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Device found: Linux device-mapper (crypt)"
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Partition ‘/dev/mapper/archive1’ does not end at a cylinder boundary (last sector: 523,460,864, modulo: 14,970)."
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Device found: Unknown"

I need to wait several minutes before the program opens. It hangs on this:

partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "LibParted Exception: Unable to open /dev/fd0 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/fd0 has been opened read-only."

After I do some operations with, say, usb drive, the program hangs again:

partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Applying operations..."
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Rescan devices..."
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Device found: ATA SAMSUNG HD320KJ"
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Device found: ATA ST3320620NS"
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Device found: Linux device-mapper (crypt)"
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Partition ‘/dev/mapper/archive1’ does not end at a cylinder boundary (last sector: 523,460,864, modulo: 14,970)."
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "Device found: Unknown"
partitionmanager(30126) MainWindow::onNewLogMessage: "LibParted Exception: Unable to open /dev/fd0 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/fd0 has been opened read-only."

P.S. I've got Card reader connected.
Comment 1 Volker Lanz 2009-03-25 18:21:16 UTC 
This might be caused by the following bug in libparted:

Arthur, does the affected machine have a floppy drive? If not, can you check in your computer's BIOS if it's disabled there?
Comment 2 tomas nackaerts 2009-05-05 22:31:31 UTC 
I had the same problem, but disabling floppy in the bios solved the problem!
Comment 3 bailout 2009-11-10 23:36:13 UTC 
I am getting this bug with version 1.0.0 on kubuntu 9.10. It could take over 5 min to start. Disabling floppy in the bios fixed it.
