Looking for some solid recos for how to use #gparted on #linuxmint on a dual boot machine (Win and LM). I want to expand the linux space but really don't want to screw up the drive(s). Can anyone steer me towards some clear instructions -- video or whatever. I've googled but don't want to just try anything. TIA.
I finally upgraded the OS SSD in my gaming PC. Went from a 250GB to a 1TB. #Clonezilla and #gParted made it so simple. It took all of 20 minutes or so!
#Shaarli: gparted - How to prepare a disk on an EFI based PC for Ubuntu? - Ask Ubuntu - Comment préparer un disque pour démarrer en EFI (donc formaté en GPT au lieu de MBR).
TL;DR : table de partition en GPT, partition 512 Mo en FAT32 avec flags esp+boot, partition système, autres partitions.
Prévoir une autre partition vide pour Windows éventuellement + bootrepair après l'installation de Windows.
Sofri por horas no Manjaro lendo a documentação do #BRFS pra tentar aumentar o swapfile, desconfiado que que estava causando travamentos: https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Swapfile.html
"após kernel 6.1 com um simples comando vocẽ cria um swapfile.." ... meu computador "ah é? não" permission denied
Conclusão: Usando #GParted fiz e ativei uma partição de swap em segundos.
I need your help! So, I have Windows and Linux Mint installed as Dual Boot installed, I got 3 Linux partitions, a Root partition, a swap partition and a Home partition. I would like to expand the storage of the Root and Home partition, I tried it via the Tool GParted, I installed it on a USB Stick to use it as LiveOS and change the partitions sizes of Linux, but I faced a few issues:
I can only expand the Root partition since the unlocatted storage is above it
I can not expand nor move the home partition and it's beyond the root and swap partition
I can't move the swap partiton
I receive a lot of warnings that it cuold breaking booting into lnto Linux and break the Grub which I definitly want to avoid, but as I took a look at the FaQ how to fix it if it breaks I just was overwhelmed.
I'm unable to make a full backup of my linux partitions since I have no external hard drvive I could use for this
I got some much importmant stuff on Linux Mint which definitly would be worse losing
So, how can I safely with minimal risk expand the root and home partition?
Was doing some minor updates to a project of mine on #sourcehut and needed to reference the summary/tree views on mobile.
sourcehut has a wonderful design, but I think some tiny UI/UX changes could help on #mobile
Small visual cleanup for the tabbed content section buttons
Swapping the order so refs / clone URLs are at the bottom (cloning is secondary on mobile / most users might wish to read about the project before cloning). Quick links could work here as well.
Not Alpine, but Arch - I installed it by tar-ing and un-taring the install instance from the flash while it was running. Then installed the boot material. For one thing, it assured that I would get the tty screen so I could start X with startx.
Thinking back, I might have installed Alpine this way too. Only way that makes sense to me, really.
Alpine with XFCE is on an ancient Pentium. I am currently using Kubuntu on a new-sh HP laptop, but Kubuntu's days are numbered. #Gparted
La #fretta non va mai bene. 🥵 Soprattutto se la s'ha nell'usare un programma con interfaccia grafica, come dire... Poco ben pensata? 🤢
L'altra sera ho fatto casino e ho perso tutti i file che avevo sul disco del #PC#portatile, con #GNOME Disks. :gnome:
Per fortuna, non ho perso nulla di che, ma approfitto dell'evento per fare un po' di riflessioni riguardo la #UI di programmi come questo, comparati ad altri più vecchio stile come #GParted. ✒️
