About Me

I'm a Sri Lankan, mechanical engineering student studying in Swinburne University of Technology, Australia. Although messing with mechanical stuff is my favourite past time I do spend quite some time messing around with PC's as well. I started messing around with ubuntu about a year back so I thought of making this blog and adding whatever I learnt so that newbies like me can hopefully pick up a thing or two. Please take note that most things i write on the blogs are what I picked up from the internet (I'll try to add the sources whenever possible) or what I learnt by trial and error. I am always willing to learn so please give your comments. Being decent while commenting wouldn't hurt :D

Adding the Partition Editor that went missing in 9.04

All of us need to format our USB flash drives once in a while. Ubuntu 8.10 had a software called GParted which was pretty functional. But somehow that went missing in 9.04. How you add it is, go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager and search for Gparted. Select Install Completely and Apply. It should be ok to work now. I find it pretty useful for partitioning USB drives and formatting them etc. Hope you do too.Cheers:)
