Bernhard's questions

I have the following setup:

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Internal Harddisk with 500 GB
• External Harddisk with 4 TB (not important for my problem)

The internal harddisk shows the following properties with the GParted app:

At the moment, I am using about 7 GB of the harddisk. The installation is new and during the installation I chose my 500 GB harddisk for installation, but I didn't make any partitions, because I wasn't sure how to do it. I was hoping to do it now. But it is not very intuitive. I assume that the 7 GB data is not spread all over my harddisk and therefore I can still split it into two partitions:

1. OS (50 GB)
2. DATA (the rest of the harddisk)

Could you give me some pointers on how to proceed? Do I need additional software? Any help appreciated.

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 because of the Japanese (Mozc) Keyboard Layout problem and it persists in 18.04. Here is the problem described:

When using mozc to input Japanese, it's using the last selected keyboard layout to input romaji - can I fix which one it uses?

Below the answer is a comment that says I should install fcitx to get the "Configure Current Input Method" option. For that person it seems to have worked. But not for me.

In "Language Support" (Settings > Region & Language > Manage Installed Languages), I see under "Keyboard input method system" the following options: fcitx, IBus, XIM, none. Whichever option I choose I don't get the "Configure Current Input Method" option. And therefore I can't set the keyboard layout for Japanese (Mozc).

What am I doing wrong? I need to write Japanese and German, but writing Japanese and having a German keyboard layout pushed on me is really inconvenient.

My mozc.xml looks like this:

<component>
    <version>2.20.2673.102+dfsg-2</version>
    <name>com.google.IBus.Mozc</name>

    <layout>default</layout>
    <name>mozc-jp</name>
    <longname>Mozc</longname>
</engine>

How should it look like at the end? Do the first two lines mean, I should make a backup copy? What do the @@ lines mean? And remove default and add jp? I'm trying to edit the file with gedit. Thank you very much for your help?
