[xubuntu-users] Removal of Zorin

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

it's unusual to maintain Linux installs with the graphic user
interface. Getting rid of Zorin and allocating the free space to
Xubuntu can be done by command line.

The subscribers of this list can help you for free as in beer by
providing commands you can copy from an email and paste them into a
terminal.

Have you already done a backup of your data or of your data and the
Xubuntu install?

If you push the keys   Ctrl Alt T    at the same time a terminal opens.

At first we need some information. Open a terminal copy and paste:

cat /etc/fstab && sudo parted -l

I suspect you know how to copy the above commands.  To paste the
commands to the terminal you need to push   Shift Ctrl V   don't use
Ctrl V without Shift.

Push the   Return   key. You need to type your password and push the
Return   key again.

The next step is to copy the output from the Terminal to your email
reply.

Select everything with the mouse, you might need to scroll, too. Again
I suspect this is a known operation, but after that push   Shift Ctrl C
to copy everything that is selected. Don't push   Ctrl C  without Shift.
Paste it to your email.

The output you get should look different, but similar to the shorten
output example shown below:

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/fstab && sudo parted -l
/dev/sdc1       /               ext4  rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
