Description of problem: This problem cropped up in the latest fully updated M8. Start qt-fsarchiver. After asking the root password, it also asks a sudopassword (never did that before, but let that pass on), the it gives the message "You need to install qt-fsarchiver-terminal separately" and the window appears but it is useless since it does not display any partition of the system. It might be six months or more since I used it last time, but this problem is new to me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Current version in the repo. How reproducible: Allways. Starting as normal user or as root makes no difference. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Indeed. This is also mentioned here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qt-fsarchiver/files/source/ "qt-fsarchiver has been split into a program with a graphical user interface and a terminal program. Both programs must be installed. The graphical program can be started without superuser rights. Thus startup problems with gksu/gksudo, (which is no longer installable) were solved with Wayland and Snap packages."

Herman, this looks like a duplicate of bug 28791. Please look at that. To re-cap, that shows the steps to see the GUI - which does not show any partitions in the "Existing partitions" box! (I have just tried it to be sure). The underlying command line 'fsarchiver' is OK. Hence I am closing it thus, but do re-open it if your problem is different. I am intrigued by your implication that it used to work (it has not for other people, at least for Mageia 8): > It might be six months or more since I used it last time, > but this problem is new to me *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 28791 ***
