Mint KDE - Gparted not running

I've installed gparted on KDE and I simply can't open it. What this might be?

I'm not sure why it won't open. You're probably missing the Gnome libraries for it, or you aren't trying to open it as root.
I do recall there being a KDE version though. The last time i used it was about 3 years ago.

A quick search of the repositories showed me partitionmanager. The description says it is like gparted, but it uses the KDE libraries for its interface.

You can install it by typing

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install partitionmanager

or

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install partitionmanager

Try starting it from terminal -
$ su
Password : <enter administrative parrword>
# gparted

In my fresh install of Mint 14 KDE it was not starting from menu.

right click on the kde menu and open "menu editor", search for gparted and look at the command listed there
it's

Code: Select all

gksu gparted

here and it works
