Gparted operation error

[sinaphysics]

When I want to open Gparted :

sudo gparted

The result is disappointing.

(process:12516): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
======================
libparted : 2.3
======================
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

(gpartedbin:12516): glibmm-ERROR **:
unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
what: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

How you find this ?

*********Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. ***********

so .font.conf should have been removed (now its replaced by the folders .fontconfig & fontconfig)

As you dont tell us which ubuntu is used, its hard to help you more. Is the libparted0-i18n installed ? and the farsi packages ?

- its better to use gparted from a livecd/usb, and always with unmounted partition

sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

Don't forget you should always use gksudo (gnome/gtk) oe kdesu (kde) not sudo for graphical applications. See RootSudo in my signature for details of why and potential problems if you don't

Have you tried using the Dash, and Applications and selecting it from there?

Open GParted with gksudo gparted instead.

I should clarify which I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 with Gnome shell. And I use Farsi TTF, I've not installed any Farsi package( I mean "deb"). In continuous I don't know about "libparted0-i18n"
I tried "gksudo gparted" and that dowsn't work too. In addition I have same problem with Goldendict app as well. I should add this, I have put two Farsi font in ~/.fonts folder too.

Unless you only want to look at your partition table, it is better to use the live
version of gparted, CD/ USB, to do any actual editing.

well I can honestly tell you when I had 12.10 install on my computer, I couldn't get gparted to even format a flash drive. It gave me errors all over the place. So I backed up all my files, did a fresh install on 12.04 and its working great! Could run gparted without error to format my flash drive. Guess I'll be sticking with the LTS's for now

Good choice.
