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

[Curtis Gedak]

Since GParted already includes a call to "udevadm settle" I removed the
"-c /dev/null" and tested with ubuntu 11.04 and 10.04.  Both of these
worked correctly.  :-)

As such I have committed the following patch to the upstream GParted
code repository:

Fix long scan problem when BIOS floppy setting incorrect
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gparted/commit/?id=18f863151c82934fe0a980853cc3deb1e439bec2

Carla, would you be able to test with this new patch?

Instructions on to retrieve and compile GParted from the git source code repository can be found at the following link:
