Hi again! Hope you have a nice saturday evening all!
I'm making room on one of my machines for Obarun and I'm throwing out Ubuntu (no other dual booting either).
So my noob question is; can you start Gparted from a bootable Obarun USB stick? I need to shrink one partition with some half valuable documents and create empty space for a Obarun install. It'll be about 195 GB free for a fresh install, no other OS'es on that machine.
PS: I have no backup disks - there all full! :)
PPS: For this manouvre I will feel safer with a GUI :) :)

Open the terminal type sudo gparted
The difference with ubuntu is that they have a clickable icon on some menu that gparted,pkexec is initiated, the polkit must be running and systemd's elogind authorizes the user to run gparted... It is like calling police and fire department headquarters before you call the locksmith to unlock your house because you forgot the keys inside. According to ubuntu all three must be present, maybe even an ambulance too in case the locksmith suffers a stroke while unlocking the door :)
If you really like to you can install gksu (while it lasts in AUR) and have a menu item made with gksudo gparted so you click and asked for a password to run gparted. There is a new replacement for gksu called qsudo that is even lighter and does the same.
JWM menus are very easily configurable, you can do whatever you like with them.

Great! Thanks! Just made a bootable USB stick with Obarun, se we'll see tomorrrow.

JWM flavor ISO come with gparted.
Go to the menu at the letf bottom of the screen -> system -> gparted and it will ask you for the password (toor by default)
So click click click like ubuntu.
No need to use terminal

Afrer all this time I never noticed it :)
Even things that I don't think would work on Obarun, work!
