[Bug 1029149] Re: gparted automatically starts scanning all devices slowly and never completing the task

[cryd_be]

Hi there,

I noticed this bug (gparted does not finish scanning) after upgrading my
12.04 ubuntu studio 32 bit (fresh install) to 12.10.  The pc is an old
dell Dimension 4600. I'm quite sure gparted worked well under 12.04.
Another thing that I noticed after the upgrade to 12.10 is that on the
desktop there was an incon to a floppy drive a: although there was no
floppy drive available in the pc. The floppy icon was not there in
12.04. After reading through this bug's comments I looked into the bios
and changed the setting of the floppy drive to "not installed". After
the proper Bios setting (not installed, because there is no floppy)
gparted worked without a flaw on 12.10. Ubuntu studio uses the XFCE
desktop environment. Hope this helps.
