On Ubuntu Gnome 15.04, Gparted will not launch from the icon. When launched from the terminal it gives the error 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)'.
It works fine on Ubuntu & Ubuntu Mate 15.04.

The problem is the library libglibmm, better libglibmm-2.4-1c2a
Check the output of this command:
apt-cache policy libglibmm-2.4-1c2a Sample output:
% apt-cache policy libglibmm-2.4-1c2a libglibmm-2.4-1c2a: Installed: 2.43.2-0ubuntu1~vivid1 Candidate: 2.43.2-0ubuntu1~vivid1 Version table: *** 2.43.2-0ubuntu1~vivid1 0 500 vivid/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.42.0-1 0 500 vivid/main amd64 Packages Install an older version, eg: 2.42.0-1
sudo apt-get install libglibmm-2.4-1c2a=2.42.0-1 and set the package on hold:
sudo apt-mark hold libglibmm-2.4-1c2a reversible with
sudo apt-mark unhold libglibmm-2.4-1c2a That worked in my case.
