Hello, note that https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/156363 does not completely fix this bug because it also needs to be fixed in KDE Partitionmanager. Thanks.
Sorry, but I don't find partitionmanager in any of the official repos; there is a version at KDE:Extra but that has not seen any commits in the last 28 months. I looked at the app nonetheless, and because it implements the authorisation quite differently from gparted, I cannot find a similar way of fixing the problem for partitionmanager. I would be happy if some one else looked at it; however, because it seems to me this package is largely unmaintained by upstream, and unsupported by openSUSE (KDE:Extra, last commit 28 months ago), I am not very hopeful of it being fixed. This is just my view (and I would only be happy if this were proven wrong). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
