[SOLVED] [KDE] Already created partitions seems not to be used

davide445 · 11-01-2020, 01:09 AM

A new KDE Neon installation on old PC (not the one in signature, an old HP 8100 Elite CMT with 14GB RAM and HDD) for my wife, to be used only for Zoom ballet classroom video lessons.

Created some partitions based on what I found on the net (really not an expert) but later noticed swap was not considered in system monitor, so checking attached status.

I didn't want to restart from scratch, neither find a way in partition manager to set specific partition types such as swap, can any samaritan give me a hint.

Why not? That would appear to be the solution, no?

The screenshot doesn't provide enough information. Please run these commands in Konsole and paste the resulting commands with output here enclosed in code tags ( [ # ] icon above the input window):

Code:

cat /etc/fstab
sudo blkid
sudo parted -l
mount | grep sda

At the end I purchased a new SSD and just used the KDE Neon installer default settings, all is working this time.
Not sure why was not working the first time, but will discover another time.
