I am having the same issue, is medium-severe issue for me.
I am having the same issue, evident with DVD install and with LiveCD.
Same here
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I can reproduce on the Fedora 13 x86_64 LiveCD as well.
Linked to Debian Bug Report 579892. According to the debian bug[1]: "This happened because parted version is now only x.y whereas qparted expects the version to be x.y.z. There is a patch in qparted svn to accommodate the parted version parsing: http://qtparted.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/qtparted/trunk/qtparted/src/qp_libparted.cpp?r1=250&r2=252&pathrev=252 " 1: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=579892#22
Hi, This is still broken in Fc14-Beta. From the research I have done, it seems the patch isn't going to be useful to anyone unless qtparted is re-built from the source files. Can anyone confirm that? I don't really want to install all the packaging tools on my computer if I can avoid it, but I will if it'll fix the problem for everybody (x86_64 users anyway, since I don't know how to cross-package). It would be nice if this was fixed since I think it's had the same problem from Fc12. br, alex
Steven; Any chance of getting this patch applied, or updating to the latest SVN snapshot from upstream? If we cannot get this fixed, then qtparted should be deprecated as it has been completely unusable since F12.
Could you check the version I just built in rawhide? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2557242 If that works, I'll push an update for F12-14 ASAP.
qtparted-0.4.5-25.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qtparted-0.4.5-25.fc13
qtparted-0.4.5-25.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qtparted-0.4.5-25.fc12
qtparted-0.4.5-25.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qtparted-0.4.5-25.fc14
To make it a little easier to test, patched builds will be in updates-testing for F12-F14, plus in rawhide. Please test (once they are available), and vote them up if they fix the problem.
Hi Steven, Thanks for fixing the program, I installed it this morning and it opened up just fine. I'll get an HDD hooked up here and do some scientific testing to see how the partitioning and formatting operations go and report back. Might take me a day or two to test all its functions. br, alex
Created attachment 456118 [details] test review of qt-parted functionality One persons opinion after testing. Well the good news is the bug is resolved, on my machine anyway. The bad news is the software didn't test very well. Please see the attachment for the procedures attempted, the results and my summary. It is possible that the programs qt-parted uses to do the actual work may have something to do with how it tested. Thanks to all those who helped get the software working again though, your efforts are very much appreciated. br, alex
