My kernel is linux3.3.1, my KDE version is 4.8.2, my
When I run KDE Partition Manager, it asks me to input password. After autority, I get the error message:
| Code: | No usable devices could be found.
Make sure you have sufficient privileges to access block devices on your system. |
The auto mount function of KDE also doesn't work. The Removable Devices in System Settings detects no attached devices. |

zasdfgbnm,
Have you tried to manually mount the devices/partitions 
Did you try cfdisk

Well, at least the devices/partitions are intact if you're able to mount them manually.
I'm not familiar with kde,or the KDE Partition Manager so I can't speak to them, but try starting it from the cl as root. Sometimes you'll get better error messages that way.
Also check your /home directory for any other owner or group other than yourself.

I'm sure files in my home are all belong to me, no other users.
I execute the partitionmanager in command line but I get the error code:
| Code: | $ sudo partitionmanager
Password:
which: no hal-lock in (/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/bin)
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
partitionmanager-bin: cannot connect to X server :0 |

zasdfgbnm,
It's looking for hal-lock that doesn't exist. You'll get the same error with
| Code: | root@gentoo-gateway .ssh # which hal-lock
which: no hal-lock in (/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/bin)
|
I found this:
| Code: | grep -n hal-lock /usr/portage/sys-block/gparted/ChangeLog
221: corrected hal-lock, and more. Closes bug #258053.
237: -files/gparted-0.3.7-hal-lock.patch, -gparted-0.3.5.ebuild,
267: +files/gparted-0.3.7-hal-lock.patch, +gparted-0.3.7-r1.ebuild:
274: bump to 0.3.7. Bug fixes (crash for partition > 1To, implement hal-lock)
|
Both gparted and partitionmanager use block/parted-3
| Code: | grep block/parted-3 $(equery w gparted)
>=sys-block/parted-3"
grep block/parted-3 $(equery w partitionmanager)
>=sys-block/parted-3
|
Unfortunately, I'm at a loss here  Hopefully someone else here can advise on this.
