I am setting up Ubuntu Server 18.04 on an old spare PC, on a seperated HDD of 329 GB. to run OenCloud Server. I am setting up using Entire Disk with LVM (Whatever that is). The Install seemed to go OK with no obvious issues. However; when I come to install Ubuntu Desktop and GParted, I start seeing problem, with messages such as not sufficient disk space, etc.
It appears to me that the Install Formats the HDD to Ext 4 with the necessary Partitions, which now appear to be too small and it is an issue to resize sda2 with parted, which error messages such as Invalid Token, etc.
1/ Is there any way I can control the Partition sizes to overcome the issue of insufficient disk space issues.
2/ I prefer to work from a GUI rather than a Command Line, as I am the Perfect Novice with Linux, but cannot seem to get GUI to work.
3/ I tried to install Gnome Desktop but cannot get it to open.
4/ I installed GParted but I cannot access it either.
I am about to wipe the disk and start again for the Third time.
Can anyone please provide me with some guidance.
Thank You.
