Works fine for me.

https://developer.gnome.org/glibmm/stable/classGlib_1_1ConvertError.html
Do you have something wrong with your locale? Variables seem fine, what about locale-gen?

EDIT: Is LC_CTYPE=fr_FR really supposed to be set, and why isn't that UTF-8?
Comment by Sebastien Nicolet (snicolet) - Tuesday, 05 September 2017, 20:28 GMT
exactly the same thing:

i also tried to: localectl set-locale LC_CTYPE=fr_FR
before running again gparted, still the same thing
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Wednesday, 06 September 2017, 04:47 GMT
And if you make LC_CTYPE a valid locale, say fr_FR.UTF-8, does it work?

Edit: and why are you using sudo to run a GUI application? That generally causes problems by itself.
Comment by Eli Schwartz (eschwartz) - Wednesday, 06 September 2017, 09:50 GMT
Because gparted has never been updated to use polkit instead of sudo, which means that gparted is *actually* meant to be run with sudo.

Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Wednesday, 06 September 2017, 11:23 GMT
If you're running it in a wayland session this is expected. Wayland doesn't support running GUI applications as root.
Comment by Sebastien Nicolet (snicolet) - Wednesday, 06 September 2017, 12:26 GMT
well,
my desktop environement is mate, so i don't have a wayland session (mate don't support it)

but when you told me to don't run gparted with sudo i got a idea: run an xfce4 session in root ( yes i know, this is a bad idea for so many reasons that i can't count them all )
and got it work fine

about the LC_CTYPE locale it didn't changed anythink
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Wednesday, 06 September 2017, 16:17 GMT
What happens if you run gpartd_polkit, which is what the .desktop file calls?

Or just pkexec /usr/bin/gparted?
Comment by Sebastien Nicolet (snicolet) - Wednesday, 06 September 2017, 17:51 GMT
the .desktop file call the action: org.archlinux.pkexec.gparted

the executed binnary file is: /usr/bin/gparted_polkit %f

if i run the binnary directly instead of "gparted" the thing works fine,
i've just test to re-run sudo gparted and now it's working (after 2 months of crashes... i have to admit i totaly don't understand why it works now , i guess we can close this bug )

thanks everyone
