No help from B.G.O. yet and I'm wondering if I should update libgdu to |
| 54 |
see if that fixes it. Is libgdu the same thing as gnome-disk-utility? |
| 55 |
If so, the latest version is 3.9.0 compared to 3.0.2 in portage: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-disk-utility/ |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Alternatively, should I try hacking the ebuild to unmask the udisks USE flag? |
