Original poster: instead of the GUI programm, I recommend you try
cfdisk. It's not "graphical", but it has a nice UI, and it can do
everything you need. `sudo cfdisk /dev/device` and you're going to
be much happier.

I only run one, GParted. As I don't mess around with partitions that

Yes, I am running a GUI as root. It won't run as normal user.

PS as you surmised, I don't really want root ssh access.
But you are running GUIs as root??

pubkey authentication, not
