GParted Live Boot Parameters

GParted live is based on Debian live with GParted installed. Therefore there are 2 kinds of boot parameters:

  1. Boot parameters from live-initramfs. You can refer to this manual of live-initramfs.
  2. Boot parameters specially for GParted. All of them are named as "gl__*", they are: gl_lang, gl-debug, gl_numlk, gl_capslk, gl_batch.
    • gl_lang is the language used in GParted live. Available values: de_DE , en_US , es_ES , fr_FR , it_IT , ja_JP , pt_BR , ru_RU , zh_CN , zh_TW... e.g. gl_lang="en_US"
    • gl-debug is for you to enter command line prompt before any GParted-related action is run. This is easier for you to debug.
    • gl_numlk, gl_capslk.
      To turn on or off the numberlock or capslock of keyboard. You can use "on" or "off", e.g. gl_numlk=on to turn on numberlock when booting.
    • gl_batch
      To enable batch mode, put it, then GParted live won't ask about X configuration during booting.
      e.g. gl_batch

Therefore if you want to assign the language and keyboard layout as German one, and let the system to automatically detect the X-window configuration, you can put the boot parameters as:
gl_lang=de_DE keyb=de gl_batch
