I just created 2 brand new partitions (sda6, sda7) from unallocated space. I wish to perform normal operations such as saving files, creating directory, copying files to these 2 brand new partitions but I cannot do any of them.

I tried to launch the terminal and using sudo command, it seems like I have to grant permission to my login user (kongthap)

  1. Please guide me what steps I have to go though?
  2. How to label the 2 brand new created partitions to something else readable? (Picture 1)
  3. If I didn't want to see Windows partitions (the 2 105GB volumes) while using Ubuntu at all, is there any way to do that?

Try these commands in terminal:

sudo chown -R kongthap:kongthap /media/kongthap/9b7ac413-1ddf-4c2e-a74d-75651d6bd37c
sudo chown -R kongthap:kongthap /media/kongthap/37f01625-218e-4027-ac8f-42b135251af5

These commands will change the owner of those directories recursively.

To rename them, go in GParted, unmount them and after choose a label name (by right click).

Regarding the third question, see How to hide a(n) (NTFS) partition from ubuntu.

  • I tried sudo mv /media/kongthap/9b7ac413-1ddf-4c2e-a74d-75651d6bd37c /media/kongthap/sda6 but I got error mv: cannot move ‘/media/kongthap/9b7ac413-1ddf-4c2e-a74d-75651d6bd37c’ to ‘/media/kongthap/sda6’: Device or resource busy

  • @Kongthap Yes, you can't rename them like this. You can do this from GParted, see my new edits.
