I am hoping to resize a Windows 98 (SE) partition using the GParted Live CD on Virtualbox. I resized the VHD using Virtual Media Manager from 16GB to 32GB. When I boot into the live CD, it allows me to select keyboard layout and language just fine, and after that it is fine, until it creates X config, prints the video information, and starts local. It says I need a graphical environment to use GParted, and that I should type startx -- this would not be an issue if startx worked.

It prints the following errors:

(EE) Failed to load module "dbe" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to load module "extmod" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) […]

I am just booting off the live CD.

Works fine for me.

I used gparted-live-1.7.0-1-amd64.iso , set up a Linux (other) x64 VM (with 8GB of RAM, 512MB is not enough and I am not sure about the minimum).

Decided to retry with 0.3.4-10, and successfully resized the partition. Interesting, 🤣.

-11 worked for another user on VOGONS just fine.
The only other thread of someone having (serious) problems with -11 that I dug up last night was this Kubuntu forums thread from 2008.
