Gparted missing from menu and wont start in terminal

General Help
1

I just installed Zorin OS 18 core and Gparted was absent from the menu and when I tried installing in terminal, it said it was already installed. When I tried running it it was not found. The following procedure fixed everything.

1st uninstall
sudo apt remove gparted

2nd uninstall dependencies
sudo apt autoremove

3rd reinstall with dependencies
sudo apt install -f gparted

Now it shows in the start menu and runs as expected.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Sometimes good to simply use the Zorin Menu Search box, in this case type gparted, to find installed apps that are hard to find in the menu's.

So guess it is now sorted?

I did try that. It wouldn't show up even with search. The only way I could determine that it was on the system was when I tried to install with apt, it said it was already installed.

Sorry, but I am now confused by your replies.

Did it appear in the Menu (when you replied it was OK), then disappear (when you subsequently replied not listed nor found by Search) ?

Note: If you need Gparted, then you should also find it on your ZorinOS installation USB.

Welcome to the Forum!

Okay, let's try the Following:

First type:

sudo apt purge gparted

then:

sudo apt autoremove

and then

sudo apt install gparted

I have marked a solution in the thread as it appears the O.O. had solved the issue:
