Are you running it in live environment? Can you try fully update it, then run the gparted again to see it's working? Because gparrted run without issues on my end

Code: [Select]
~ >>> gksudo gparted

Possibly a related issue, mintstick won't run on my converted system either...


My fear is that

Pacman -Syuu broke them

Have you enabled [system-testing] in your /etc/pacman.conf and update your system from it?

If not, you can follow here :

You need to put [system-testing] above [system] in your /etc/pacman.conf or you will never get the packages from [system-testing]
