GParted Live is a small bootable GNU/Linux distribution for x86based computers.
It enables you to use all the features ofthe latest versions of the GParted application.

GParted Live can be installed on CD, USB, PXE server, and Hard Diskthen run on an x86 machine.

To install GParted Live on CD, download the.iso file and burn it as an image to a CD.

For other installations, please refer to the following documents:
GParted Live on USB
GParted Live on PXE server
GParted Live on Hard Disk
Add packages in GParted Live
Create your own custom GParted Livefrom scratch

See the GPartedLive Manual for instructions on how to use the Live image.
See the GParted Manualfor instructions on how to use the application for partitioningtasks.
See the documentation page for copiesof the GParted Manual in other languages.
For x86-based Apple machines before 2012, e.g., iMac5.1 or iMac11.1, you might need to add "nomodeset enforcing=0 xforcevesa vga=791" in the boot parameters so that GParted live can boot successfully. For more info, please refer to this.

GParted live is based on Debian live, and the default account is "user", with password "live". There is no root password, so if you need root privileges, login as "user", then run "sudo" to get root privileges.

I'm attempting to increase the size of my Ubuntu root drive. It was suggested to create a live USB of GParted to merge the free space I've created into the root drive. I created said USB, but when I go through the options (the first GParted live option, not touching keymaps, language, and video option), I see a screen on which there are some very fast messages about something nvidia not loading, and some other files I can't identify. Then I get to a view explaining it's Debian and the Debian disclaimer, and then nothing. It hangs on said view. I can hit keys and I can see them appear under the messaging, but otherwise I'm stuck.

Your issue can be different from mine (please read the page), but what worked for me: on boot, instead of selecting "GParted Live (Default settings)", I selected "Other modes of GParted Live" and "GParted Live (Safe graphic settings, vga=normal)".

I've got ESXi on my server and have couple of Guests on it. I have increased HD size of one the guests but when I boot into that guest - Win Server 2003 - it is not reflected. I know why. I need to boot that guest with gParted to re-size the partition. How do I do that if I connect to my ESXi with VMWare Infrastructure Client?

and it didn't boot, you may need to change the boot order in the VM BIOS. The easiest way to get to the BIOS is to go to edit settings, select the "Options" tab, then highlight "BIOS Options". Check the box under "Force BIOS setup".

I recently grew my MacPro VM's virtual disks from 128G to 256G, and ran 'sudo diskutil resizeVolume / R' to try to make the space available, but it told me 'MediaKit reports partition (map) too small'.

I downloaded gparted-live-0.27.0-1-i686.iso and put it into datastore1, added it 'at power up' to the VM's CD, changed the VM type to Other 2.6.x LInux 32 bit, booted the VM and held C down from the VMWare screen until it reached the GRUB screen, but while I could select the GRUB options, most of the resulting systems either didn't recognise the keyboard in character mode, or the mouse in GUI mode.

Every so often, the default GRUB option worked but while I got through language selection I found I needed to leave the GUI alone for quite a while - perhaps scanning the disk - before the it recognised the keyboard or mouse clicks.

Apparently, since GParted 0.22.x, support for UEFI motherboards has been added to the application, which results in the necessity for it to be set in VirtualBox. It might be a bug, but since the workaround is fairly easy I can live with that.

whenever i try to install gparted via the webui it starts the download and then just freezes (the terminal window displayed on the ui). It never finishes even when left alone for a few hours. I can not find any errors in the syslog. Is there a way to do the same from cli (as in integrate into grub and the webui)?

i see. i remember it working in omv 5 but that was running bare metal. just to be sure: i am talking about the webui setting to install it as a boot option - you could select to boot gparted instead of omv via grub

I'm trying to re-size my arch root partition with a gparted live usb, but my arch machine is for some reason unable to boot any live USB media. I installed a gparted live iso to a USB stick with unetbootin, via the instructions here

After restarting, my computer fails to boot into gparted. It just loads up Arch. The BIOS is set to boot to usb first, but it just doesn't work. I'm out of ideas. I've tried just about every live USB installer method possible, but every one gives me the same results. I've used different GUI installers (including tuxboot and Liveusb Install), I've tried to do it manually, but nothing works. I've even tried creating it from both a Windows machine and a mac, but no luck there either.

Thanks guys but still no luck. But yeah I've tried 3 different sticks with the same problem. I've checked the bios settings several times and everything looks good. It doesn't make sense. When I first installed arch I used a usb stick. It worked fine. But now I can't boot anything. I'm trying to boot into a live Ubuntu session now. Just can't do it. I'm on an x220 thinkpad. F12 brings up the boot drive selector, and it sees the usb, but when I select it nothing happens.

It's cool I've got it working. I found a windows linux usb installer that works. Problem solved. Thanks though. Still not sure why none of the other installations worked, but I guess tenth times a charm, haha.

I have one single LVM with Ubuntu MATE installed as my only OS (see pic) which I wish to split into two, one for the OS and one for my data. I have tried to re-partition from the live USB using GParted but am unable to unmount the volume. If I close GParted I can eject/unmount from the file explorer, but then when I open Gparted again the volumes are locked (with the key icon) and have disappeared from the file explorer menu.

Thanks.
Ironically it seems the LVM, which advertises itself in making guided partitioning easier, is the thing that prevents the volumes from being unlocked. I did a clean install without using LVM, and was then able to resize and create partitions at will from the live USB. All good now. I appreciate the help.

I have a VMWare Player virtual machine where I am trying to change partitions of my Windows 7 VM hardrive using GParted. I downloaded a GParted live CD from here. I tried this with both *-i686 and *-amd64 versions.

The problem is that VMWare Player VM does not detect the bootable ISO at all. I added the ISO file like this. When I run the VM and check its setting then CD/DVD (SATA) has a checkmark next to it so I presume it is connected. But the ISO is nowhere to be found when I try to change boot order in PhoenixBIOS. So I cannot run GParted to change partitions.

OK, I got the gparted iso burned a cd so now I have Gparted-live, but how do I get this to boot up? When I restart, hold the c key down it gives a number 1 & a number 2 on a black screen and I can do anything with either number that I type in the blank.

I had to hold down 'C' instead of option; not sure if this is because I had a LaCie drive plugged in (which is what I want to partition) but even though Gparted started in is not able finish scanning the drives.

This is one of the easiest ways to increase battery life. Your phone came to you with all sorts of features that, on the surface, are fun to use and make your experience better. However, they all require processes that will eat away at your battery life. Fancy settings include but are not limited to: Bluetooth, location services, auto-rotate, auto-brightness, NFC, Hey Siri/Ok Google, Gestures.

Replace LOCATION with the absolute file path to your .vdi image (just drag the .vdi file from file explorer to you cmd window) and replace SIZE with the new size you want (measured in MB) 1 GB = 1000 MB

The location of the MAC address on an android device is unique to the device, but almost all versions will show it if you navigate to Settings>Wireless and Network; the MAC address will be listed on the same page or in the Advanced section:

These HMDs are designed with PC games in mind. They provide an experience far superior to the cheap options but will run at a high price of $599 for the Rift and $799 for the Vive. The Vive includes two hand controllers which allow the user to have virtual hands for interacting with VR objects. Oculus is working on a similar device, the Oculus Touch, which is available for pre-order as of October 2016.

Many companies are investing in virtual reality and creating their own devices to compete with the front-runners. It is expected that the VR market will expand much further, especially once the price point of the high-end HMDs comes down. Virtual Reality is in a state of great potential; the applications of these headsets goes well beyond gaming. The military is interesting in them for training purposes. Educators can use them to teach students. Doctors can use them to treat psychological conditions. I have no doubt that Virtual Reality will eventually become part of our everyday lives.
