I am trying to create 100GB partition on my 500GB SSD. I am starting over again due to the serious login problem.
The instructions here in this link arent working

Here is where I'm at now. See below two screenshots. What should I do now? I want to LUKS encrypt it also.
@Aravisian , I am trying to create 100GB partition on my 500GB SSD. I am starting over again due to the serious login problem.
The instructions you gave me above/the link isnt working.
Here is where I'm at now. See below two screenshots. What should I do now? I want to LUKS encrypt it also.
You appear to be missing two crucial things. You need a plus sign (+) when specifying the size and you need a Unit. For example, if specifying a size of 110gigs:
+110G
@Aravisian , ok so i had to start the command prompt over again.
I got a different result this time, didnt even get as far.
What do i do from here?
/dev/sdb is usually a flash drive. Should that be /dev/sda?
U might be right, i only got one USB drive plugged in, its the ZorinOS liveboot, & I definitely dont want to be screwing with that. I'll try dev/sda.
Look at your Disks app. Just trying things may lead to another round...
Okay, so now what do i do? I really need to wipe the whole SSD, but i cant figure out how, there still a bunch of partitions, bu i did reformat all of them.
You can use the Disks App to create free space from a partition.
Click the partition you want to wipe.
Now click the (-) button.
It will then show as free space.
wow, so simple, awesome, just did it. Didnt know the (-) did that. haha
@Aravisian , now come across even more problems. It chose the partition size automatically? and it wont let me choose partition #1 like the instructions tell me to choose:
You are selecting partition 1 which is a 512megabyte size partition.
It looks like your bootloader partition, to me.
Okay, i had to delete all those partitions. And make a new one, sigh. what a headache.
It says when I type "lsblk -f" it should say "crypto_LUKS"
But it only say "crypto", it may not matter?
@Aravisian , ok, looks like i got the LUKs done/completed. When I install the ZorinOS Core into it, i guess i dont need to choose the LUKS option, because I already created an encrypted LUKS?
What would happen if i chose the LUKS option again?
Also, which partitions should i choose here?
Correct
I do not know and I would not want to find out.
/dev/mapper/cryptpart ext4
When you select the drive to format, be sure to set the mount point as /
/ is root
where/when was i supposed to do that?
it should be the popover window that appears when you select your partition to write to.
