Topic: Live CD is not usable
I am able to use GParted via the Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD and the Parted Magic Live CD, however, booting from the GParted Live CD has serious issues.
Version is 0.4.5-3.
I have done this on an old 486 desktop and a 1 year old notebook.
Same issues on both systems.
Both in the default mode and in the safe vga mode, the text in the toolbar and on the desktop are outright unreadable.
1. All the icons were not visible, likely shifted off of the screen to the left,
2. The dialog was also shifted left, and could not be moved.
3. The background was not any shade of green it was a very dark color, making the foreground text unreadable.
On the desktop, I use a resolution of 1280 x 1024, Do not know the resolution on the notebook(does 1440 x 770 sound right?).
In addition:
a. Did not list USB drive.
b. Did not see an option to convert partition from logical to primary.
c. Does not seem to be a downloadable manual.
d. The first time I tried, I could not find any way to restart, I had to power down the computer. The second time, the mouse inadvertently passed over something that was not otherwise visible, and I saw an Exit menu.
