[Bug 981636] Re: gpartedbin crashed with SIGABRT in ped_assert()

[Curtis Gedak]

Only one GParted process is *supposed* to be permitted to run at any one
time.  From testing the gparted 0.11.0 package in ubuntu 12.04, I can
confirm that multiple running copies of GParted are permitted.

An enhancement was made to GParted 0.16.2 that permits only one instance
of GParted to execute at a time.  Following is a link to the relevant
upstream bug report that also contains the "permit only one running
instance" patch.

gparted doesn't inhibit systemd mounting, leading to potential data loss

GParted 0.16.2 was released upstream on September 18, 2013.

Title:
  gpartedbin crashed with SIGABRT in ped_assert()

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I got it when I tried to apply another operation while there is
  already an operation running. I was moving a partition and realized
  that gparted was allowing me to do another operation, so I tried, just
  to test. And I got this after press apply and try to cancel the second
  one.
