How to resize a partition - Ubuntu, NTFS, ext3

Asked by YohanShminge in Linux, Ubuntu, RPM Installer

Tags: ubuntu, partition, resize

Hi experts,

It's just too late here for me to keep dealing with this.  I'm trying to resize the partitions on my hard drive.  I partitioned my 80 GB drive 50-30 (windows-linux).  Well it seems I need more space for windows.  Hence resize.  But I can't remember how I did the partitioning during the install.  Looking around seems to indicate that I need gparted, and oh it's soooo easy to install right?

sudo apt-get install gparted

*SMACK* Couldn't find package gparted.

So I browsed around, found some RPMs, installed those, gparted appeared, but failed to load, some error about libparted-1.6.so.14, tried installing another rpm which contained this file (parted), nothing changed.

Compiling from source isn't my cup of tea right now.  I'm going to sleep.  If anyone can help, thank you so much.
