The program 'gparted' should already be included in your Xubuntu
installation.
Check via:
$ dpkg -l | grep gparted
*
I found gparted in the software-center.
So it is easy to install for me.
Thank You.
This command (dpkg -l) lists all installed packages and grep filters it
for the term 'gparted' which is what we are interested in
*
So if gparted is in the software-center:
Can I do sudo apt-get install gparted
or install it with the gui-software-center?
In case it is not installed:
apt-cache search gparted (You don't need root permissions to search for
packages)
sudo apt-get install PACKAGE (Put the exact package of gparted name here)
*
Thank You.
Then you could start gparted, you will be asked your root password.
*
OK
When the Ubuntu partition is no mounted, you can delete it and than add
the freed up disk space to your Xubuntu partition(s).
*
OK
Depending on the filesystem you chose for Xubuntu can do that online
(That is the Xubuntu partitions (Do you have separate ROOT- and
HOME-partitions?)*
I think so.
Why?
Because I installed Ubuntu Hardy and Xubuntu Pangolin independent.
First Ubuntu
later Xubuntu.
are mounted while running Xubuntu (EXT4) or use a live-system to do
that while they are not mounted (necessary when they are formatted
EXT3)). Probably you will only be able to extend the HOME-partition (In
case you have not set up Logical Volumes).
*
I do not understand.
Sorry.
You could unmount your HOME-partition (You would have to leave the
graphical environment via CTRL+ALT+F2 and login as root) and then extend
it.*
Can gparted unmount?
Can gparted lead the grub or the booting process?
If possible, you could also resize your ROOT-partition on a running
system (EXT4 only, maybe some other file systems too, have a look at
Wikipedia). Please search for some online tutorials before you proceed,
you can totally break your system and corrupt your data!! Backup first
and then do fsck to verify that the file system in the enlarged new
partition(s) is in order (Partition has to be unmounted!!!)
*
Yes
Thank You.
Resizing partitions while in a running system should only be done on the
commandline, no gparted here.
*
OK
Maybe easiest to use a live-CD to have the GUI available. These are
just brief hints on how to do what you want. You will definitively have
to look for more information!
*
So it is difficult
to boot with the hd-Xubuntu
and then
start gparted and then clean Ubuntu?
