greyed-out

I have had this problem before and fixed it, but I don't recall how I did it and I did not record it (sadness :( )

I have all the requisite commands installed on OpenSuse to support gparted's efforts in creating any of the supported file systems. I recall that the problem was that gparted could not find the commands, in any event all the file systems are greyed out in the context menu except for the legacy hfs partition which only supports < 2gb. Even extfs2-extfs4 are greyed out.

How do I fix this?

I have been having several issues with my ext4 filesystems that seem to be due to jbd2 journaling. I made a related post here and am rephrasing it with the hope that someone may be able to help. For a minimal example, I start with an empty 8gb USB stick and use gparted to create one ext4 partition… >>> More

Being new to OpenSUSE (v.11.2) and the GNOME desktop, I am somewhat at a loss.

Okay, so I'm trying to do something that should be rather simple but for some reason I can't quite seem to make it work.
