[Bug 903885] New: Gparted broken (misconfigured) on live rescue image for 13.2
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903885 Bug ID: 903885 Summary: Gparted broken (misconfigured) on live rescue image for 13.2 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: nrickert@ameritech.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I booted my laptop to the live rescue image (booting from a USB). I then selected "gparted" in the menu. Gparted did not start. The message in ".xsession-errors-:0 indicated a problem connecting to the display. I'm guessing an "xauth" problem. As an alternative, I opened an xterm, used "su" to become root, then ran "gparted" from the command line. It started. But it also started a file manager which managed to mount lots of existing partitions on the disk that I wanted to repartition. The pretty much destroy the whole purpose of boot a stand-alone rescue system to run "gparted". My workaround: Boot the live rescue system. Then logout. Then login again but with "Icewm". Start an xterm, become root with "su". Then start "gparted" from the root command line. It works in Icewm, without the crazy mounting that happens when run in XFCE -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is true somewhat more generally (see boo#904623), not only of the rescue image, although I cannot reproduce this from my GNOME system.
Hi. I have tested KDE, LXDE and Xfce in VirtualBox and if works fine in all of them except in LXDE (real and virtual machines), so it's no surprise to me that it also works for you in GNOME. Greetings. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
