[Bug 910379] Re: Gparted does not start and continues to scan devices

[Carla Sella]

Hi Philipp,
I cannot se what devices it's trying to scan.
I launched gparted from terminal, but there's no output, see attached immage.

I have this output on /var/log/syslog, but these  messages occur also
when gparted is closed so I'm not sure they are caused by gparted:
