I had Windows and installed Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Windows.

I want to allocate suitable disk space to Ubuntu. I installed the Gparted Parition Editor from the Software Center.

My problem is: It closes down as soon as I open it.The same happens when I try to open it through Terminal.

This is the message I get in the terminal:

(process:2977): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
    Using the fallback 'C' locale.
======================
libparted : 2.3
======================

(gpartedbin:2977): glibmm-ERROR **: 
unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
what: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

This is the result of sudo fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes

  • Try running it from the command line and see if there is any output: sudo gparted – psusi Jan 02 '13 at 01:52
  • Please make it clear whether you have done a Wubi installation (= Ubuntu within Windows) or whether you installed Ubuntu alongside Windows in its own partition. –  Jan 02 '13 at 05:21
  • @psusi If I run it through terminal.It happens the same but I have the following messages.I don't understand it. I am new to Ubuntu. (process:3347): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. ====================== libparted : 2.3 ======================

    (gpartedbin:3347): glibmm-ERROR **: unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler: what: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

  • @vasa1 . Honestly I don't know the difference between the two but is there any way I can check that and let you know. – user12448 Jan 02 '13 at 14:46
  • Edit your question and add the information there rather than paste it all fubar as a comment. – psusi Jan 02 '13 at 15:15
  • Also, edit your question to include the information you get when you run sudo fdisk -l and sudo parted -l from the terminal. –  Jan 02 '13 at 15:51
  • Please remember to format your post properly. This assures you have a high quality question, which will receive the high quality answers it deserves! Thanks and good luck! – user98085 Jan 02 '13 at 17:27
  • @FEichinger thanks a lot for the help.You are right about the formatting. I am new to Ubuntu and this site.I am trying to learn it. Thanks once again. – user12448 Jan 02 '13 at 17:29
  • @user12448 No problem. We're here to help. :) – user98085 Jan 02 '13 at 17:30

    See if this answer applies: http://askubuntu.com/questions/33025/locale-settings-are-not-right-how-can-i-reset-them – chaskes Jan 02 '13 at 17:44
  • Also, if you plan to shrink the Windows partition, it's a good idea to degrag and use Disk Management from Windows to shrink the drive. – chaskes Jan 02 '13 at 17:45
  • @user117123 . I tried with the disk management in windows.But I am not sure how it should be . Or what exactly I should do.I have both Ubuntu and Windows C drive . – user12448 Jan 02 '13 at 22:42
