  • I increased the partition size for Sir Solus, however, I keep getting

brent

brent the 92GB ext4 Solus gets the /boot flag? how does that work? how do you get away with an all-in-one dealio (sdb2) like that?

The "dealio" was the installer, whom is not returning my calls. The Solus original partition was only
about 23 GBs and I wanted to add to the partition of the adjoining unused partition.

brent and the error code is on the unallocated? Da, da !

brent gnome-disks and gparted don't always speak the same language hence yr error

I am beginning to learn dat.

brent what are you trying to do with the unallocated?

Merge with Solus.

brent why would solus disappear when you format(?) or install on(?)

Brent, beets me. I wish to merge the gray [unactive] with Solus OS.

brent but what partiton are you trying to format

b2, but as I stated, when formatting the yellow disappears just before final operation.
I am guessing that the formatted partition will disappear Solus.

brent Stuff goes over my head a lot.

Stuff goes in one ear and out the other. :-))

                  Are you trying to enlarge a partition of a running system?

                    Axios. I am running an installed 4.5 XFCE. I have done no updates, only
                    with my girlfriends. :-))

                        Tanks, Staudey, I will check the provided links! I have already spent at least
                        one hour of power, Interneting this topic. Oh, I should add, dat I was using
                        Minty 21.1, when attempting to change the partition.

                        I will try a live DVD Solus and sea what happens.

                          "Are you trying to enlarge a partition of a running system?" Het. <---- Russian for no
                          I was operating with Mint 21.1. One cannot change an active partition while using the same
                          OS.

                              Brent, you can see what repairing my OSs have done to my head.

                                blueicetwice my own head would have a weep hole for the non-stop air escaping it as I repair stuff and resembles a deflated beach ball left on the ground after a grateful dead concert. and the normal part is I never repair the install.

                                  Yes, it is not back-back-wards compatible.

                                  Axios as they say dont mix the streams..lol

                                  I never share my urinal.

                                        Your Geekship, I always thought the same. We are now being consigned
                                        to the Ukraining front.

                                          Gentlemen, I simply decided to go forward with the formatting since,
                                          I have an internal HDD which contains the backup of my Linux Battalions.
                                          I targeted both HDD, with the gray matter in the partition. [non-formatted]
                                          Bang, let the band "play we shall overcome."




                                          Thank you, for everyone's input. Staudey, I will still review both of your linkies.
                                          A rolling stone, leaves no kernel unturned.

                                          I wish we had a means to mark threads - solved.. :<((

                                            blueicetwice I should have phrased that different its from ghost busters when they where
                                            trying to get the ghost with their laser things...lol
                                            Thats what one of them said if they crossed the lasers it wouldnt be a good thing...rofl

                                                Axios, it was a fabulous movie, which [they/them] do not make anymore.
