just downloaded gparted it will not run for some reason I have tried uninstall and reinstall nothing it appears zorin is lacking something but dont know what it is,in my opinion of zorin ultimate that is an unfinished work,I have never seen a linux os that gparted will not load up,when one pays for something it is expected to work especially gparted

Hi, Gparted does come with Zorin. From 12 upwards (= Ubuntu 16.04 which also does the same thing), once Gparted has been used for installation purposes, the OS removes it. To reinstall it use a terminal command:

Code:
sudo apt-get install gparted


There should be no issues then. ;) :D

Yes, wayland causes more problems than it solves! You can't run Synaptic Package Manager in Wayland either! ;)

Can this thread be marked as [SOLVED]? ;) :D
