Bug Description

Binary package hint: gparted

On the ubuntu 7.04 final live CD, When I ran GNOME partition manager from the menu, it automatically mounted all my partitions and opened a nautilus window for each of them. The result was that I had to close 5 windows before I could see the gnome partition editor again.

When I closed the program, unmounted all patitions, and then started the program again, the same thing happened.

I haven't tested yet whether this is only on the live CD or not.

This appears to happen only on the live CD, not when it's installed

This bug often gets in the way when trying to make changes to the partitions (e.g. deleting a partition and then resizing another partition), because all partitions get mounted automatically and they need to be not mounted for Gparted to do its job. I can prevent this from happening by killing gnome-volume-manager before starting Gparted.
