IrcsomeBot<Omar> Hi all15:13
IrcsomeBot<Omar> How can i know windows partitions to remove them i have 3 os's so there are too many partition15:14
IrcsomeBot<Omar> How can i know my windows partitions so i can remove them, i have 3 os's so there are too many partition15:15
alkisgOmar, start by uploading the output of this command:15:18
alkisg(sudo fdisk -l; sudo lsblk -fe7) | nc termbin.com 999915:18
toast[m]Well depends on the OS you'll use to remove them15:18
toast[m]Check the partitions for files that look like they belong to windows15:19
toast[m]If you can find the windows partition, the next step is to check for it's size as a reference to find it's /dev/sdaX (if you're using linux) in the partition management program you're using such as gparted.15:20
toast[m]If you feel like you can't decide which is the actual partition then yeah maybe run the command alkisg told you to15:21
toast[m]After that, remove that partition + the Microsoft EFI reserved partition if you're using UEFI, unless the windows boot manager is your bootloader then don't.15:22
toast[m]Or no don't remove the EFI reserved partition15:23
toast[m]Don't do that, only remove the Microsoft Reserved partition only and the other partition I told you about15:24
toast[m] * After that, remove that partition15:24

IrcsomeBot<dexteeey> After I upgrade kubuntu to 23.04, i am not opens apps from the application dashboard, desktop is clean, not able to add widgets in desktop.15:43

IrcsomeBot<Omar> can kde partition manager do it ? (re @IrcsomeBot: <toast[m]> Well depends on the OS you'll use to remove them)15:44
alkisgOmar, you may delete sda2, 3, 4 and 5. You can do that from a live cd. Then I would suggest that you grow your sda1 partition to 1G. And you can create a partition for the remaining space, e.g. for /home15:45
toast[m]IrcsomeBot: /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda4 /dev/sda5 all seem to have something to do with windows. Also yes KDE Partition Manager can do it.15:45
alkisgNote that you have two "efi" partitions; that's not appropriate, you should merge them into one15:46
toast[m]IrcsomeBot: What do you mean by upgrade to kubuntu 23.04? If you reinstall Kubuntu it's as if you installed a new OS. If you still have access to your /home partition you can do a little trickery to get all your data back (hopefully), especially files. But for other customisations I doubt so.15:47
IrcsomeBot<Omar> why (re @IrcsomeBot: <toast[m]> Or no don't remove the EFI reserved partition)15:49
toast[m]because it's your bootloader15:49
toast[m]One of the two EFI partitions is your bootloader so don't risk it for now15:50
toast[m]One of them however is useless, but don't worry about it. for now take care of the windows partitions alone.15:50
IrcsomeBot<Omar> ok i will make it 1G can i ask why ?15:53
IrcsomeBot<Omar> thanks (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg> Omar, you may delete sda2, 3, 4 and 5. You can do that from a live cd. Then I would suggest that you grow your sda1 partition to 1G. And you can create a partition for the remaining space, e.g. for /home)15:53
IrcsomeBot<Omar> and what is sda6?15:55
alkisgOmar, windows creates the efi partition too small, 100M. Then fedora didn't like it and created a second one, 500M. Now you have two, and it's confusing15:57
alkisgSo by resizing the 100M partition to 1G, you'll eventually be able to merge the fedora efi partition into the main one15:58
IrcsomeBot<Omar> shouldn't i delete one and make the other 1G15:59
alkisgResizing the 100M to 1G is "making the other 1G"15:59
IrcsomeBot<Omar> how ? (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg> So by resizing the 100M partition to 1G, you'll eventually be able to merge the fedora efi partition into the main one)15:59
alkisgDeleting the 500M one is not trivial, you need to know what to merge15:59
IrcsomeBot<Omar> oh (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg> Resizing the 100M to 1G is "making the other 1G")16:00
alkisgE.g. windows and ubuntu may be in the 100M one, and fedora in the 500M one. If you delete it then, you may get an unbootable PC16:00
IrcsomeBot<Omar> ok (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg> Deleting the 500M one is not trivial, you need to know what to merge)16:00
alkisgIn general, go boot from a live cd, and THEN come here for advice :)16:00
alkisgOmar, also upload the output of: sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 999916:01
IrcsomeBot<Omar> ok thanks a lot16:02
IrcsomeBot<Omar> https://termbin.com/erk4816:03
alkisgOmar, run `sudo -i` so that you're root, then run this:16:07
alkisgfor k in 1 6; do echo $k; mount /dev/sda$k /mnt; find /mnt; umount /mnt; done | nc termbin.com 999916:07
alkisgAnd a last one: blkid | nc termbin.com 999916:07
IrcsomeBot<Omar> https://termbin.com/m55z (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg> for k in 1 6; do echo $k; mount /dev/sda$k /mnt; find /mnt; umount /mnt; done | nc termbin.com 9999)16:10
alkisgGreat, then you can just delete sda6, it's completely unused after all16:11
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Great16:12
IrcsomeBot<Omar> https://termbin.com/lfdk (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg> And a last one: blkid | nc termbin.com 9999)16:16
alkisgYup, everything is fine, efibootmgr also points to sda1. You may remove sda6 as well.16:17
