IOW, I don't see an alternative. AFAIR, you run GParted as a user and at the appropriate time, the user is required to enter a password(1)(2). Maybe their own, or maybe root's. It depends on how the system is set up. (1) The Policykit dependency is an indication that root privileges are required, and that GParted can/will escalate to root (or at least user with admin privileges) as required. (2) It's /years/ since I ran GParted, but KDE Partition Manager - which does the same job - requires escalation at start up. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is never immediately apparent" / _)rad "Is it only me that has a working delete key?"
