140 <title>Using Gparted</title>
141
142 <para>
143 To manipulate file systems Gparted has a run time dependency on various
144 file system tools (you only need to install the tools for file systems you
145 actually use):
146 <xref linkend="hdparm"/>
147 (required for optionally displaying serial number device information),
148 <xref linkend="btrfs-progs"/>,
149 <xref role="runtime" linkend="dosfstools"/>,
150 e2fsprogs (installed as part of LFS),
151 <xref linkend="jfsutils"/>,
152 <xref linkend="ntfs-3g"/>,
153 <xref linkend="reiserfs"/>,
154 <xref linkend="xfsprogs"/>,
155 <ulink url="http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/mtools/">mtools</ulink> (required

163
164 <para>
165 Root privileges are required to run Gparted. If you wish to run the
166 application from the menu, further applications and configurations are
167 necessary. Examples of applications that may be used:
168 <ulink url="http://people.debian.org/~kov/gksu">gksu</ulink>,
169 <ulink url="https://launchpad.net/kdesudo">kdesudo</ulink>, or
170 <ulink url="https://github.com/tarakbumba/xdg-su">xdg-su</ulink>.
171 Another solution is to use <application>pkexec</application>, from
172 <xref linkend="polkit"/>, but some configuration is necessary.
173 Another simple solution is <xref linkend="ssh-askpass"/>. Below, we
174 describe these two alternatives: "ssh-askpass" and "pkexec".
