It won't run or work in the menu only in terminal.
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/home/guest/Downloads# gparted
======================
libparted : 3.2
======================
Failed to execute child process “mkudffs” (No such file or directory)
root@porteus:/home/guest/Downloads#
What is wrong or how can I fix it.

I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

Jack, do you install
udftools (I mean
udftools-1.0.0b3-x86_64-2_slonly.txz)?
Linux 6.6.11-porteus #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Jan 14 12:07:37 MSK 2024 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 v6 @ 3.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Google
Failed to execute child process “mkudffs” (No such file or directory)
https://fossies.org/linux/gparted/ChangeLog
908 When udftools are not installed and the mkudffs program isn't found
909 GParted would report this error during startup:
910
911 # ./gpartedbin
912 ======================
913 libparted : 3.1
914 ======================
915 Failed to execute child process "mkudffs" (No such file or directory)

Go to /usr/share/applications and try to find the gparted.desktop file. Open it with leafpad or another text file utility. What do you see after exec= ?

Remove the %f at the end. And try it.

do you have:
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.slackware.pkexec.gparted.policy ?
should be part of the slackware package.

On my Cinnamon desktop the GParted app is:
/usr/share/applications/gparted.desktop
Exec=gksu gparted
Where did you get GParted from Jack? USM should have the correct app with the module, plus all the required modules.
