GParted News Item 237

The GParted team is pleased to announce a new stable release of GParted Live.

This release includes GParted 1.2.0, updated packages, and other improvements.

Items of note include:

• Includes GParted 1.2.0:
  • Add exFAT support using exfatprogs
  • Wait for udev change on /dev/DISK when erasing signatures
  • Don't try to mask non-existent Systemd \xe2\x97\x8f.service
• Based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2021/Jan/26)
• Linux kernel updated to 5.10.9-1
• Known Issue: Boot option "Other modes of GParted Live -> GParted Live (Failsafe mode)" fails to enter graphic mode when booting from uEFI mechanism, while it's OK when booting from legacy BIOS.

This release of GParted Live has been successfully tested on VirtualBox, VMware, BIOS, UEFI, and physical computers with AMD/ATI, NVidia, and Intel graphics.

Note that the default boot options did not display an X Desktop on old Acer Aspire laptops. The workaround is to select Other modes of GParted Live and choose GParted Live (Safe graphics setting, vga-normal).
