GParted 1.0.0 – GNOME Partition Editor For Linux Ubuntu

By Sourabh /  Category: How To, Ubuntu

GParted 1.0.0 has been released. Here is how to install GParted in Ubuntu LInux. The GNOME Partition Editor, GParted is a free partition editor for graphically managing your disk partitions.

With GParted you can resize, copy, and move partitions without data loss, enabling you to grow or shrink your C: drive, create space for new operating systems and attempt data rescue from lost partitions.

  • Perform actions with partitions such as:
    • create or delete
    • resize or move
    • check
    • label
    • set new UUID
    • copy and paste
  • Manipulate file systems such as:
    • btrfs
    • ext2 / ext3 / ext4
    • fat16 / fat32
    • hfs / hfs+
    • linux-swap
    • lvm2 pv
    • nilfs2
    • ntfs
    • reiserfs / reiser4
    • udf
    • ufs
    • xfs

GParted 1.0.0

This release of GParted includes a significant undertaking to migrate the code base from gtkmm2 to gtkmm3 (our GTK3 port). Thanks go to Luca Bacci and Mike Fleetwood for making this happen.

With this major change we bump up the major version number. This 1.0.0 release is not meant to indicate that GParted is more stable or less stable than before. Instead it means that GParted now requires gtkmm3 instead of gtkmm2. Note that several other dependencies have changed as well.

As with our other releases, this one also includes several enhancements, bug fixes and language translation updates.

Key changes include:

  1. Port to Gtkmm 3
  2. Port to GNOME 3 yelp-tools documentation infrastructure
  3. Enable online resizing of extended partitions
  4. Add F2FS support for read disk usage, grow, and check
  5. Fix slow refreshing of NTFS file systems
