Partition table not valid (?)

For a few days I noticed that the KDE partition manager tells me that all USB media do not have the partition table (not valid).
On Gparted everything works correctly.
I don’t think this is normal…

Same here, did you search in KDE bugs?

Just checked and same here. Looks like KDE Partition Manager only gives the wrong information about one’s main drive.

Nope but I’ll use gparted like I did before I got to Garuda :sweat_smile:

I have been a KDE user since pretty near day one, so I’m by no means bashing KDE. However, for something doing such critical operations as partitioning I always rely on gparted. I have encountered far too many bugs over the years with KDE’s partition manager to feel confident relying on it.

I actually prefer the way the KDE’s PM GUI looks and how it is laid out. I just don’t have the confidence with its stability compared to gparted. I still keep it installed and view partition information with it, but if I’m actually going to do partitioning I rely on gparted. I would put it in the same category as pamac. Pamac is a great way to search for and view available packages, but I always use the terminal to perform system updates. Looks just doesn’t trump reliability in my book.
