KDE partitionmanager cannot label fat32 volumes

[vertago1]

I have Kubuntu 12.04 amd64 and I have been looking into why the KDE partition manager is unable to change the partition label for fat32 volumes. I did not mount the partition I want to rename. I did some reading and there was a bug submitted a few years ago marked as invalid because it wasn't "a supported feature" (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255831)

So I opened up a new bug (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304209) that was a wishlist item so that it wouldn't be marked invalid, but someone using Gentoo and the same version of partitionmanager (1.0.3) says they can change the partition labels.

Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

install Gparted or make a Gparted live cd/usb .
make sure you have at least dosfstools and mtools installed as well.....thay should be already
and you may half to start it with alt>F2 "kdesudo gparted" (I do) as it dose not seem to authenticate other wise
