Re: [opensuse] gparted - can only create HFS partitions

Hello,

I installed gparted 0.47 from opensuse:11.2: contrib repo (also tried
the packman one). When I did so, it also pulled in jfsutils (1.1.12),
and I have dosfstools (2.11), mtools (4.0.10) and e2fsprogs (1.41.9)
already installed.

Yet, when I try to use gparted (and provide root password), I can only
create HFS partitions. Under view file system support everything has a
red X against it except:
- create HFS
- Grow fat16, fat32
- shrink fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+
- move fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, linux-swap, ufs
- copy fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, linux-swap, ufs
- label fat16, fat32

It works fine for me (I use 11.2 x86_64).

Is there something I am missing in setting up gparted specific for
opensuse?

No, it should work out of the box. Could you please file a bugreport
in Novell bugzilla and assign it to me (or send me a bug number via
mail), so we can better track this issue?

Also, please try newest gparted upstream version (built for 11.2)
from [1] and report if it makes any difference.
