Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU parted - how to update to new version?

[greatgnu]

Sure, mate Bannanna Magique, I know. I am not one of those 'gimme only muh  
CLI apps' guy. In fact I think gparted is one of the most amazing software on  
my computer. I also am not willing to spend 5 hours studying parted to do  
what gparted does perfectly well and without any issue.


I was asking the OP, they seem to be quite decided on parted, hence my  
wonder.

I see, my bad. But may ask what is wrong with simply using gparted for your  
purpose?

I made the prozess of dd / partition table / partitioning / formating with  
the new version of Parted (3.2), which is on the gparted live iso, again and  
everything went as expected. BUT same strange behaviour still occurs. if the  
drive is mounted permanent activity happens on the completely empty and new  
drive. has anybody an explanation for this? defect drive?

You could try Disk Utility that some times works when Gparted doesn't

I made:

$ /media/USER$ sudo chmod 777 HDD

no I have access

$mount
$/dev/sdc1 on /media/USER/HDD type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2)

but the strange thing is the hdd light is blinking fast and hdd is working,  
but I do nothing at all


I feels like there is something not correct configured

it partly worked somehow now but not sure if correctly. if I want to create a  
folder or file: 'error opening file '...' permission denied

Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU parted - how to update to new version?

I guess you are talking about the GNOME Partition Editor, that is gparted.

sudo apt-get install gparted

or, why not, using aptitude

sudo aptitude install gparted

Absolutely of no importance at all AFAIK

[Trisquel-users] GNU parted - how to update to new version?

[43453]

I want to update GNU parted from version 2.3 to a never version with:

$ sudo aptitude install parted

but the output is:

$ No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.

why is that?

is it important/makes it any difference for the use of ext4 to have a new  
version of GNU parted?
