Hi,
A longish story. I tried to upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 several
weeks ago following Ubuntu's standard notification. That attempt
finished very quickly, doing nothing, and then I saw that Ubuntu had
withdrawn the advice. A while later they re-instated the notification
so I dutifully tried again. That attempt went a lot further but some
place in "installing system components" the process stopped and the
screen went black. I could do a text login but no sign of the upgrade.
So, I decided to install 24.04 from scratch but wanted to keep 22.04
available. I split the root partition into 2 and installed 24.04 into
the second half. Foolish I think but I was getting tired.
Now I have wiped (wipefs) the 22.04 half and erased it but I would like
to grow the 24.04 partition into the first half of the original root
partition.
I can do this with gparted from a live memory stick but what happens to
the boot arrangements? I'm using grub2, and I do have the GUI utility
"grub customizer". Grub customizer has noticed the absence of 22.04 but
i haven't saved that change in grub.
This would give me more space for the system files but it isn't urgent.
I'd appreciate your advices and also what should I have done?
