I want to format a USB and I yum installed gpart and it went in okay and I have done all kinds of searches for it and can't find it. I did the yum install gpart. Anyone out there know where I should look? thank you

In MATE, it can normally be found under System Tools. In Gnome3, you can just type Gpart in the apps search bar and it should appear.

You can always open a terminal and enter gparted.

Thank you Tux. The only place I didn't look. ya might know. :oops:

Edit: I tried gparted and it said there wasn't any of them. I googled to find out how to get it in Fedora 19 and they gave the command yum install gpart. Are they both something different? or do I use another command instead of yum install

Just noticed you entered gpart. You are looking for gparted.

gpart and gparted are not the same app. gpart is used to recover corrupt partitions. gparted is the Gnome Partition Editor.

This is what I get when I type in gparted
[molly@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install gparted
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Package gparted-0.16.1-2.fc19.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[root@localhost ~]#

Looks like it's already installed.

Alternately, you can just open a terminal and enter: gparted

yes mine shows exactly like that. It has my head messed up so much now' trying to screw around with my brain I guess, what is left of it.
When I first tried it, I was told no package available for gparted. tried again a few more times, then I googled and found a site that told me to yum install gpart, I did that and it went right in.
SO, why is it called gparted in my System tools and it is called gpart in my terminal where I installed it? Anyway, I got it now and I will mess with it in the morning when my brain gets back to normal.
Thank you Tux

gpart and gparted are not the same app. gpart is used to recover corrupt partitions. gparted is the Gnome Partition Editor. You must have installed both. :hehe

If I did, I only see the one

what I get when I type gpart in terminal

There is no GUI for gpart. gpart is a command line app, so it won't show up in the GUI menu.
