Install software inside dom0

[Gecko]

Can I install something like GParted inside dom0? I don't know how to make any of the VM's see all of my partitions. I can only see the entire disk inside dom0 terminal.

How can I delete all other partitions and resize Qubes to use all the hd?

[root@dom0 ~]# qubes-dom0-update gparted
That will install what you want.

Run fdisk on your hdd then.

Or else you are using LVM's?
Or is it GPT? MBR?

I haven't done it with Qubes, but usually I use a live CD for that sort of job.

It didn't let me do the gparted install. I have since given up. I have decided to wipe the qubes os partition, go back to windows, connect another computer using ethernet, backup my files, then wipe the hard drive, and maybe try to install qubes again.

There seems to be too many issues with qubes. I'm doubting whether it's worth the effort. Maybe a live CD + Encrypted USB will perform just as good. A lot easier to manage and copy files etc.

Thank you for trying to help though. Maybe I should look for an OS that doesn't use your graphics card as a paper weight.

did you try to prepend the command with 'sudo'?
