Comment 1 Mike Fleetwood 2014-10-01 08:09:16 UTC

Hi Cristian,

I see from the lauchpad bug report that you are running GParted 0.19.0.
The latest GParted release, version 0.19.1, fixes a known crash in
GParted [1].  The bug is a write after memory freed so can cause a crash
almost anywhere, with any backtrace.  Please try GParted 0.19.1.

Thanks,
Mike

Chritian,

Can you retry to see if the issue has been fixed with GParted Live 0.20.0-2?
