As far as I know there are none pre-installed, but I could be wrong. I usually solve this by installing gparted my self. There are three ways that I know of to install it, all of them are security risks in their own way, either minor or major depending on your environment or what you download into Dom0, etc. One approach to install gparted in Dom0 is adding a repository in Dom0. Another approach is to download gparted through your browser and move it over to Dom0 via shared harddrive or USB, (remember to umount in both Dom0 and Dum0 whenever accessing the opposite, that is Dom0/DomU). It is also possible to just move it with terminal which avoids shared-drives/USB transfer altogether. Whichever method you use, all are a security risk in their own rights, though trusting Fedora/gparted, and you trust your USB devices then, then you should be fine. Terminal move approach is more secure method if you don't trust your shared drives or USB device in Dom0, Qubes has official guides for how to do that with the terminal. So in order to use two of the above three methods to transfer the file to Dom0, grab and download gparted https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=1950 Once you downloaded it and moved it over to Dom0, then open the Dom0 terminal, and write "sudo yum install /path-to-gparted-rpm-in-Dom0" or just write "sudo yum install" and drag and drop the file to automatically generate the path after the install part. After install just type gparted in terminal to start it. Best to avoid installing or moving anything to Dom0 as far possible, but sometimes it just isn't practical, i.e. gparted is really nice to have. Maybe Qubes has a build-in partition manager, but I never managed to find it, so this is what I do. Keep in mind this is just what I do to work around it, it might or might not be best practice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
