#GParted

Migration from old 1TB NVMe to new 4TB NVMe complete. Used #clonezilla and #gparted to expand the root partition. #Debian trixie but the install goes back to at least buster.

Also took the opportunity to apply new thermal paste to the processor and blow out dust from the fans.

Everything is running fine and I didn't lose my wife's #wesnoth saves.

What does #GParted force you to measure partitions in MiB? Is this how the rest of the world feels about America's use of the Imperial system?

Hey #Linux #nerds, any idea why a #Debian server with a 64 GB main drive would report such a huge discrepancy between `df` and `du`? `df` reports 20 GB used, while `du` reports just 6 GB used. I'm trying to resize the partition and #GParted thinks that its the 20 GB used. :huh:

edit: CIFS bit me in the ass! Thanks for the replies!

Once again, #Linux betrayed me: #GnomeDiskUtility only gave me error messages when trying to create a #partition table, #GParted just froze, and #fdisk returned a success message but didn't actually do anything.

So I turned to Windows – which did the partitioning just fine without any issues. 🤐

GParted Live 1.70.8 is here! 🚀 Now with support for NBD and experimental bcachefs, but drops 32-bit—it's 64-bit only from now on. Still the go-to free partition tool for power users needing quick cloning, resizing, or migration. #Linux #OpenSource #GParted #newz

GParted Live 1.7.0 drops 32-bit support (RIP old hardware 🪦), but the real win is better block device ordering. No more accidentally selecting the wrong disk when you have multiple drives! Following Debian's 64-bit-only path.

The adventures continue!

I run a number of computers at home, almost entirely GNU/Linux-based. As the hardware continues to age, data integrity had become more and more of a concern. I am particularly worried about sudden disk failures, and with a combination of ddrescue and timeshift I have been setting up whole-partition/whole-disk and incremental backups on critical systems.

I have also […]

On this laptop, I just used gparted to move a partition and extended the NTFS partition of the "C" drive in Windows, as I migrated from a 320GB HDD to a much larger 1TB SSD.

For these kinds of tasks, I usually use a Linux Mint Debian Edition USB to live boot the machine.

Gracias por la pregunta...

Intente primero con #gparted y #ext4, pero me arrojo un error de que no podía crear la tabla de particiones y al ignorar esto, continuaba con todo el proceso, y al final (+5 minutos despues) me informaba que no había conseguido terminar el proceso

Tambien intente hacerlo directamente desde la linea de comandos usando

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc

Es por eso que recurrí finalmente a win

I still need some more feel at home config help. As you can see here I love having vertical gradients on my displays, but in KDE and Vallpaper I have not found how I can set gradients on the side of my wallpaper which are deliberately not 16:9 since I love to look at (vertical) gradients. Where do I need to look to achieve that? Is there a KDE action that I need to define for all my 20 KDE desktops?

The image shows a computer's internal components with a partially open window displaying a background settings dialog box. The background of the dialog box features a selection of images, including a desktop scene and various computer-related images. The dialog box is titled "Background" and includes options for "Menu," "Wallpaper," "Folder," and "CasePics." The selected background is a desktop scene with a computer monitor. The dialog box also offers settings for "Style" (including "Vertical gradient," "Horizontal gradient," and "Scaled"), "Apply to all workspaces," and "Random Order." The "Change the background" button is visible, along with a "Help" button. The background of the dialog box is dark, with a blue sidebar on the right displaying system information, including temperature, CPU usage, and other metrics. The left side of the image shows a terminal window with lines of code and system information, including CPU and memory usage. The overall color scheme is a mix of dark and blue tones, with the computer's internal components in various shades of red, black, and silver.The image shows a desktop settings dialog box for selecting a wallpaper. The title at the top reads "Desktop" and includes tabs for "Background," "Menus," "Desktop Icons," "File/Launcher Icons," and "Keyboard Shortcuts." The main section of the dialog box is titled "Wallpaper for Workspace 13 on Monitor 1 (DisplayPort-0)" and features a grid of nine wallpaper images. The selected wallpaper is an image of an old computer setup with a monitor and keyboard. Below the grid, there are options for the folder ("CasePics"), style ("Scaled"), and color ("Vertical gradient"). Additional settings include a checkbox to "Change the background" every 10 minutes, a "Random Order" option, and a "Help" button. The dialog box also has a "Close" button in the top right corner.The image is a horizontal split-screen showing two different views of computer setups. On the left side, there is a vintage Amiga A4000T computer setup with a white tower, a CRT monitor displaying a list of items, a keyboard, and a stack of DVDs on the desk. The room appears to be warmly lit, with a plain wall in the background. On the right side, the image shows the interior of a modern computer case with visible components such as a CPU cooler, motherboard, and various cables. A software interface is overlaid on the image, displaying a graphical user interface with sliders and thumbnails, likely for adjusting settings or viewing system information. The background of the right side is a blue color, possibly indicating a software environment.
