Can't install Gparted on AlmaLinux 10

Support

I’ve just set up a new machine with AlmaLinux 10 and I’ve mostly got what I need but I can’t find ‘Gparted’. Epel repo is enabled but there doesn’t seem to be a match.

cat /etc/almalinux-release
AlmaLinux release 10.1 (Heliotrope Lion)

What am I missing?

EPEL 8 and EPEL 9 do have gparted. EPEL 10 does not. EPEL does not automatically (re)build everything that they have had for previous versions. (There are various reasons for that.)

You should send a build request to EPEL to get gparted into EPEL 10.

What do you use the gparted for?

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Having built the machine I would like to tweak my partition setup slightly.

I’ve done this in the past from the Command Line but I feel a bit safer with GParted.

Which leads to two further questions:

  1. Is there a graphical equivalent to GParted that is preferred for AlamLinux 10?

  2. How do you make a request to EPEL, not something I’ve ever contemplated before (or realised was an option come to that).

Thanks.

I have never bothered to look for GUI. When I did use GParted (ages ago) for something – and it was a “boot to GParted”, not “from OS” – it did not support all the things I had.

I think the instructions are in: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/

If you accepted the defaults during install, then you have three partitions: (1) ESP, (2) /boot, and (3) LVM PV. The PV has three LVM LV: (1) /, (2) /home, and (3) swap. The three “normal” filesystems have XFS and XFS does not have “shrink” option. That is, there will not be much room for tweaking, particularly when the system runs.

I do always choose the customize option during install, and I do leave some room for tweaks. Not that it really helps – would be nice to be able to foresee the future.

However, the AlmaLinux 10 does support btrfs out of the box. (RHEL 10 does not.) The btrfs-based setup should give way more flexibility (if chosen during install).
