Add xdg-su to list of graphical switch-to-root programs to be
considered for gparted.desktop file.
The openSUSE GNU/Linux distribution includes the program xdg-su by
default for graphically prompting for root privilege.
This enhancement enables a user to compile and install gparted from
source code on openSUSE and have the gparted menu entry graphically
prompt for root privilege.
Bug #699626 - Enable gparted.desktop to prompt for root on default
openSUSE installation
The autoconf check for the Gtk::Window::set_default_icon_name() method
was failing to detect its availability, but only on Ubuntu >= 11.10.
Turns out that the autoconf check incorrectly defined the link libraries
via the C++ flags variable CXXFLAGS, rather than the LIBS variable.
This resulted in the libraries being specified in the wrong order on the
command line. The test only failed when Ubuntu also added the
"--as-needed" flag to the linker by default [1] which required the
libraries to be correctly specified at the end of the command line.

This fixes commit:

Only use Gtk::Window::set_default_icon_name method when available
Bug #695279 - GParted doesn't compile on RHEL / CentOS 5.9
The previous commit missed one glibmm GSource wrapper in the form of the
io watch for the PipeCapture class. Convert this one to use glib
directly as well.
Bug #697727 - Segfault in livecd Gparted v 0.15.0-3 when copying
partition
Applications are moving away from storing icons in /usr/share/pixmaps,
instead preferring /usr/share/icons/hicolor/$SIZE/apps, so only install
the fallback icon when GParted requires it.
Bug #695279 - GParted doesn't compile on RHEL / CentOS 5.9
On RHEL / CentOS 5.9 GParted couldn't set an icon as the
set_default_icon_name() method is not available. See commit [1] for
details.
Re-add the old set_icon_from_file() method as a fallback and re-install
a GParted pixmap as was used before commit [2].

Bug #695279 - GParted doesn't compile on RHEL / CentOS 5.9
On RHEL / CentOS 5.9 GParted failed to run any external commands and
instead reported the following warnings to the terminal:
# src/gpartedbin
======================
libparted : 1.8.1
======================
Failed to change to directory '' (No such file or directory)
Failed to change to directory '' (No such file or directory)
Failed to change to directory '' (No such file or directory)
...
Utils::execute_command() and FileSystem::execute_command() passed a zero
length string for the working directory to
Glib::spawn_async_with_pipes() to mean don't change directory. Instead
glibmm just tried to change to the directory with a zero length name.
This was fixed with glibmm >= 2.21.2 released July 2009, however RHEL /
CentOS 5.9 only has glibmm 2.12.10.
Relevant glibmm fix:
Treat empty Glib::spawn*() working dir as unset
https://git.gnome.org/browse/glibmm/commit/?id=8a7805cbbe6d268e975669349beb4e82d971537d
Fix by simply specifying ".", the current working directory, as the
directory to change into before executing all commands.
Bug #695279 - GParted doesn't compile on RHEL / CentOS 5.9
Glib::ustring::compose() method requires glibmm >= 2.16, but RHEL /
CentOS 5.9 only provides glibmm 2.12. Replace with String::ucompose()
as is used everywhere else in the code.
Add missing include for kill() and SIGINT declarations.
Bug #695279 - GParted doesn't compile on RHEL / CentOS 5.9
Roughly HFSX is a case sensitive version of the HFS+ file system.
Parted reports such a file system as "hfsx" rather than "hfs+".
# mkfs.hfsplus -v "case insensitive hfs+" /dev/sda7
Initialized /dev/sda7 as a 1024 MB HFS Plus volume
# mkfs.hfsplus -s -v "case sensitive hfs+" /dev/sda8
Initialized /dev/sda8 as a 1024 MB HFS Plus volume
# parted /dev/sda print
...

# blkid /dev/sda[78]
/dev/sda7: LABEL="case insensitive hfs+" TYPE="hfsplus"
/dev/sda8: LABEL="case sensitive hfs+" TYPE="hfsplus"
Make GParted recognise HFSX file system variants too.
Closes Bug #698876 - GParted fails to recognize HFS+ partition (possible
due to disabled journaling)
In some circumstances gparted would appear to scan forever if it
encountered a blank hard disk. This would happen if the timing of
events was right and gparted encountered a disk without a partition
table. The missing partition table would cause a call to the
exception handler, which could get stuck in a thread waiting position.
The problem was traced back to the ped_exception_handler
and a cond.signal() call missing the requisite mutex.lock() and
mutex.unlock() around the signal call.
Closes Bug #697518 - gparted scans forever blank disk in virtualbox
The glibmm GSource wrappers have a bug where they do not do
reference counting properly, and have a race condition where
the background thread can try to touch the source after the
main thread has already processed and destroyed it. This
results in writes to freed memory and sometimes this causes
crashes or other erratic behavior. Avoid using the glibmm
wrappers and use glib directly. See bug #561885 for details
of the glibmm bug.
Bug #697727 - Segfault in livecd Gparted v 0.15.0-3 when copying partition
For an absolutely full NTFS GParted doesn't show the file system usage
but instead shows a warning against the partition.
GParted was looking only for "resize at %d" to determine file system
used figure in the output from the ntfsresize command. Also handle
finding "ERROR: Volume is full" too to derive used figure.
NTFS with 1 block free case:
# ntfsresize --info --force --no-progress-bar /dev/sda9

You might resize at 1073737728 bytes (freeing 4096 bytes).

Lookup the maximum reiser4 file system label length instead, so that it
is defined in only one place. Small improvement missed from earlier

These functions in GParted_Core:
open_device()
open_device_and_disk()
close_disk()
close_device_and_disk()
call the following functions in the libparted API:
ped_device_get()
ped_disk_new()
ped_disk_destroy()
ped_device_destroy()
which don't open or close anything. Instead they allocate and
deallocate PedDevice and PedDisk memory structures which describe block
devices and partition tables respectively.
Rename functions:
open_device_and_disk() -> get_device_and_disk()
close_device_and_disk() -> destroy_device_and_disk()
and merge open_device() and open_device() as each only wrapped one
libparted function and was only called from a single place.
Minimum update explaining the meaning of the cleared and unformatted
file system types.
Also markup file system names as GUI menu items.
Bug #688882 - Improve clearing of file system signatures
The wipefs command has the following significant limitations which were
worked around in previous commits:
1) Wasn't available in the earliest distributions supported by GParted;
2) Had to be called 3 times to erase vfat (fat16/32) signatures in all
but the most recent versions.
This meant we had all the code to clear file system signatures without
using the wipefs command as well as extra complexity of using wipefs
too. So just remove use of the wipefs command.
Bug #688882 - Improve clearing of file system signatures
Wipefs only clears the nilfs2 file system signature from the primary
super block at the start of the partition. This is enough for blkid to
no longer detect the file system. However parted (>= 2.4 with nilfs2
support) and therefore GParted still detect the file system using the
secondary super block at the end of the partition.
# mkfs.nilfs2 /dev/sda12
# wipefs -a /dev/sda12
2 bytes were erased at offset 0x00000406 (nilfs2): 34 34
# blkid /dev/sda12
# parted /dev/sda12 print
Model: Unknown (unknown)
Disk /dev/sda12: 1074MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: loop
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Flags
1 0.00B 1074MB 1074MB nilfs2
Overwrite the nilfs2 secondary super block at the end of the partition
with 4K block of zeros. Always do this just in case the partition
contains a nilfs secondary super block but is detected as a different
file system. Such an example was documented in an earlier commit
message.

As failure of flushing the cache can lead to misidentification of file
systems make it a checked step in the displayed operation details.
