SUMMARY

partitionmanager hangs while scanning disks after password request

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Start partitionmanager
2. Insert the password


OBSERVED RESULT

partitionmnager remains in "scanning device" at 0% forever, this is what is written in the console if I start from it. I have to kill the process to close it:

LC_ALL=C partitionmanager
Detected locale "C" with character encoding "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual
for more information.
Loaded backend plugin:  "pmsfdiskbackendplugin"
"Using backend plugin: pmsfdiskbackendplugin (1)"
"Scanning devices..."
"Device found: KBG50ZNS512G NVMe KIOXIA 512GB"
getting temp failed for  "/dev/nvme0n1" :  No such file or directory
getting powered on time failed for  "/dev/nvme0n1" :  No such file or directory
getting power cycles failed for  "/dev/nvme0n1" :  No such file or directory

EXPECTED RESULT

scan should be completed quickly and the program can be used

Comment 2 Andrius Štikonas 2025-09-24 18:09:12 UTC
Are there any child processes that are running while partitionmanager hangs?

Running "KPMCORE_DEBUG=1 partitionmanager" might also be useful, it will print more output.
