My KDE-Partitionmanager keeps crashing.
I did a fresh installation of Fedora 42 KDE Plasma on my computer.
Now I wanted to permanently mount my backup-drive and started the Partitionmanager - that crashed.
When I start the Partitionmanager via shell I get:
daPeta@fedora:~$ LANG=C
daPeta@fedora:~$ pwd
/home/daPeta
daPeta@fedora:~$ partitionmanager
kf.coreaddons: "Could not find plugin kpmcore/"
Could not create instance of plugin ""
unknown file system type "dos" on "/dev/sda"
KCrash: Application 'partitionmanager' crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
When using parted I get:
GNU Parted 3.6
Using /dev/sda

The problem seems to be the partitiontable of /dev/sda which is displayed as: msdos
What can I do ?
In the meantime you could consider editing /etc/fstab manually to add the mount if you’re comfortable with that. You could also consider installing GNOME Disks - it’s called “Disks” in Discover, or “gnome-disk-utility” if using dnf from the command line. It doesn’t seem to pull a bunch of GNOME dependencies, so it should play nicely enough with KDE.
In the spirit of the internet, I’m gonna respond with “same problem here”.
.
I have multiple Fedora KDE computers updated to the latest (42) update {Codenames: main, livingroom, third.}.
It seems that my main PC has KDE Partition Manager just crash after the password is put in. I will paste in here a error report log if asked (tell me how to do it), but if it’s already well described in the guy above’s then I may not (I don’t have the knowledge necessary to understand the technicalities written there).
I have just tested livingroom’s KDE_P_M and it is just working here, and third instead I haven’t tested recently, but it should just work there too.
.
I need to mount a new drive so I need it (I won’t use the Konsole, normal End Users at large don’t want to use the Konsole, and most just go spend €200 at a PC shop just to clean the dust).
I hope the issue may be solved soon.
Thank you for your assistance. It’s good to know, that a bug report already exists. I followed your hint and used “Disks” to create the mount - now my backup is running again…
The problem solved itself thanks to work from above,
but I wanted to say that on my other computers KDE_P_M stopped and started working due to unknown factors, but on my main one it just didn’t work until, like, a week ago (?) when an update came out.
