Q: Error entering to my ubuntu 20.04 because it is full and grub doesn't recognize my Usb I am trying to enter my ubuntu-desktop 20.04 but it doesn't allow me because it is full.

/dev/nvme0n1p8:clean, 430719/3612672 files, 13722097/14444032 blocks

I wanted to resize the Ubuntu partition with a USB live containing the Ubuntu ISO image and using Gparted but the grub doesn't recognize my USB.

In this image, you can see that the grub only recognizes my Ubuntu partition, Advanced options, Windows Boot manager, and UEFI settings but it doesn't show me my USB which is connected to my computer.
Can anyone help me?
My laptop specs are the following:
BIOS 1.1.3, Nvidia Gtx 1050 4 GB, Intel corei7-7700HQ, and 16 GB RAM

A:
In this image, you can see that the grub only recognizes my ubuntu partition

Grub only knows about boot devices with bootable operating systems that it's been told about. Booting from the USB device is a function of your machine's BIOS. Normally this is done with a key press on boot but it varies between machines. It might be Esc, Del, F2, F8, F10, F12 or something else, so you need to consult your machine's manual about overriding the default boot device.
That said, I would advise against expanding the partition until a) you have a backup of your treasured stuff, and b) you have booted into the USB device and cleaned up some space by deleting files, and c) you have investigated the cause of the partition filling up. A look in /var/log is in order because if there is an error then the logs could have been spammed by the kernel to the point that the log filled up your drive.

A: Are you using Encryption of your home folder?.
If you are using Encryption Ubuntu needs some free space in order to being able to decrypt.
So you can boot with a Ubuntu Live or a rescue distro, mount the drive, make some space, for example deleting logs under /var/log and then unmount and restarting should be fine.

SLO Tribune's wildly varied circulation numbers
Joe Tarica
For a journalism contest, the San Luis Obispo Tribune's circulation was less than 15,000. For advertisers, the Tribune's readership is more than 122,000. [Cal Coast Times]
On its website, the Tribune is reporting 27,408 in daily circulation and readership of 68,520 which means the newspaper is saying an average of two and a half people read each day's edition. But the newspaper's media kit, used to give advertisers an idea of how many people their Tribune advertising will reach, puts daily readership at 122,220.
It's an important question for businesses considering where to spend their advertising dollars: How many copies does the Tribune actually sell and how many people read the paper and the online editions?
As a way to prop up a wheezing industry's declining advertising revenues, some publishers promote their publication's estimated readership instead of actual circulation numbers. Circulation refers to the number of copies distributed in print and online subscribers while readership is a multiplication of that number based on an assumption that additional people read each publication, usually reported as two to five readers per copy.
The Tribune's fortunes have waned over the years. Access to news on the Internet and public choices for other news sources, most notably Facebook, have reduced the numbers of readers of newspapers across the United States, including the Tribune. Online sources, including LexisNexis, put the Tribune's circulation at between 38,000 to 40,000 copies a day from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s.
In its yearly report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed in March, McClatchy, the Tribune's parent company, reported the Tribune's average daily circulation in 2018 as 17,709.
The Tribune's circulation number appears to have ranged down even lower as the newspaper entered a journalism competition run by the California Newspaper Association. The Tribune editorial staff entered the under-15,000 circulation division and won that category's first place award for general excellence.
When asked to clarify the Tribune's circulation, Editor Joe Tarica said their current circulation falls under 15,000. With a reported readership of 122,220 and Tarica's number, the Tribune would have to have each newspaper read by slightly more than eight people.
The Alliance for Audited Media (AAM) is the company that's supposed to keep the newspapers honest about circulation. Four times a year, the Tribune provides AAM a detailed circulation report that includes the average number of printed copies purchased, the number of printed copies given away, and the number of online paid subscribers. And, about every two years, AAM conducts an audit to confirm the publisher's reports are accurate. The Tribune's last audited report, which covered a 24 month period ending in Sept. 30, 2016, verified a total daily circulation of 25,718, including printed papers and online subscribers.
In the Tribune's latest quarterly report to AAM, for the first quarter of 2019, the Tribune reported a total daily circulation of 16,267, which included 11,123 printed papers and 5,144 digital subscribers.
In response to questions about the Tribune's different readership and circulation numbers, Tarica said variances in the numbers are because of the dates the numbers were pulled and different products included in the numbers. He refused to specify what publication dates and products where used to develop the Tribune's varied circulation reports.
"Readership and circulation are different numbers, and there are many products that fall under different reports," Tarica said. "Variances in numbers can occur based on the time frame pulled or the type of products included in the reports."
Tarica also said that the Tribune was entered in the correct category for the CNPA contest.

The Tribune is a HIGHLY POLITICAL/BIASED publication. It ceased being a real newspaper a long time ago. Tarcia and the rest that contributed to its decline should be ashamed of themselves.
nazbol gang
LOL! funny
Honestly the main reason publications like that are losing readers is because the content is really bad. The Trib is online too so they can't use 'going out of style' as an excuse. In crazy times such as ours the internet is no excuse for not publishing anything relevant to peoples lives. I mean it's obvious they shill for local power players, who the heck wants to read local oligarch propaganda.
Gramelin
I don't trust the "Fibune". I know they don't print accurate facts. I know they lack intuitive research. They play in the Good ole' boy games, rarely portraying the truth. Lazy and lacking integrity. And although I do log on once in awhile to check the Obits..I refuse to pay one cent to read their fiction.
Where else can you read the obits?
obispan
They are run by business and government. Zero journalism. Got delivery for my elderly mom, delivery spotty, not thieves, but the Tribune admitted that their service was unreliable and could not be guaranteed at this time. Also Mom, who has paid subscriptions for everything and donates to everything, and has plenty of money to do so, concluded that The Tribune was a "waste of money".
scoopone
If I live long enough I will see the demise of this un-informed newspaper and the rise of a Cal Coast News to a print edition. One-sided news coverage will be its obituary. Their decision to be all-left all the time will also be the main demise of SLO as a great and happy town and (just keep supporting all liberal candidates for the city council) will make it a reality. I don't see any good news in the future of this community in the foreseeable future and bankruptcy is knocking on the door. By continuing to pay city managers, police and fire, sky-high salaries will guarantee it!!

Ahhhhhh, so comforting........wonder why Hayden didn't add "family"...?
Maybe because not all family are friends ?
There is enormous power in the fact that something so all-encompassing as your attitude can be changed so quickly. Your world can be an entirely different place than the world you lived in a few moments ago when your attitude toward it changes.
The key thing to keep in mind about your attitude is that it is yours.
Though anything can influence it, you control it. You have final authority over your attitude. By exercising that control, you can literally change your world.
You say there are certain things which put you in a bad mood. Yet the truth is that you put yourself in a bad mood. It is a way in which you choose to respond. What if you were to make a different choice? Those "bad mood" things would no longer have control over you, and your precious time could be used moving forward rather than feeling miserable.
You say there are things which put you in a good mood. Yet again, that is a choice you make. What if you were to choose it more often? Imagine the positive possibilities!
I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that a lot of people die of natural causes.
who is the fool who said, "Quit while you're ahead !!" ??
A plan for tomorrow to do today.
No one knows how it all began, not even the dead, but everyone knows that it did.
profound degree, direct it at will.
and this "new place" is where you dreamt it.
accident is to miss the gift and remain in the dark.
and serendipities" to blast forward, higher, richer, and happier—yeeha!
Luck is nothing more than preparation, opportunity and execution........"Seneca - 4BC-AD65"
Most confuse it with "Chance"....a series of choices made at a specific point in time leading to unexpected results.
Fate.....forces outside of ones control that are not determined by "chance (choice) or "luck".......!
Destiny is what happens if you Faint.
A time comes in your life when you finally get it . . . When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out - ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes you begin to look at the world through new eyes.
This is your awakening. You realize that it's time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change or for happiness, safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon. You come to terms with the fact that he is not Prince Charming and you are not Cinderella and that in the real world there aren't always fairy tale endings (or beginnings for that matter) and that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must begin with you and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance.
You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are . . . and that's OK. (They are entitled to their own views and opinions.) And you learn the importance of loving and championing yourself and in the process a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval. You stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you (or didn't do for you) and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected.
You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you and that it's not always about you. So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself and in the process a sense of safety & security is born of self-reliance.
You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties and in the process a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness. You realize that much of the way you view yourself, and the world around you, is as a result of all the messages and opinions that have been ingrained into your psyche. And you begin to sift through all the crap you've been fed about how you should behave, how you should look and how much you should weigh, what you should wear and where you should shop and what you should drive, how and where you should live and what you should do for a living, who you should sleep with, who you should marry and what you should expect of a marriage, the importance of having and raising children or what you owe your parents.
You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. And you begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for. You learn the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you've outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with and in the process you learn to go with your instincts.
You learn that it is truly in giving that we receive. And that there is power and glory in creating and contributing and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a "consumer" looking for your next fix. You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a by gone era but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life. You learn that you don't know everything; it's not your job to save the world and that you can't teach a pig to sing.
You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO. You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake. Then you learn about love. Romantic love and familial love. How to love, how much to give in love, when to stop giving and when to walk away. You learn not to project your needs or your feelings onto a relationship. You learn that you will not be more beautiful, more intelligent, more lovable or important because of the man on your arm or the child that bears your name. You learn to look at relationships as they really are and not as you would have them be.
You stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes. You learn that just as people grow and change so it is with love, and you learn that you don't have the right to demand love on your terms . . . just to make you happy. And, you learn that alone does not mean lonely . . . And you look in the mirror and come to terms with the fact that you will never be a size 5 or a perfect 10 and you stop trying to compete with the image inside your head and agonizing over how you "stack up." You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs. You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OK . . . . and that it is your right to want things and to ask for the things that you want . . . and that sometimes it is necessary to make demands.
You come to the realization that you deserve to be treated with love, kindness, sensitivity and respect and you won't settle for less. And, you allow only the one who cherishes you to glorify you with his touch . . . and in the process you internalize the meaning of self-respect. And you learn that your body really is your temple. And you begin to care for it and treat it with respect. You begin eating a balanced diet, drinking more water and taking more time to exercise. You learn that fatigue diminishes the spirit and can create doubt and fear. So you take more time to rest. And, just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play. You learn, that for the most part, in life you get what you believe you deserve . . . and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different from working toward making it happen. More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction, discipline and perseverance. You also learn that no one can do it all alone and that it's OK to risk asking for help. You learn that the only thing you must truly fear is the great robber baron of all time. FEAR itself. You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your terms. And you learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom.
You learn that life isn't always fair, you don't always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people. On these occasions you learn not to personalize things. You learn that God isn't punishing you or failing to answer your prayers. It's just life happening. And you learn to deal with evil in its most primal state - the ego. You learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you. You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.
You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about; a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower. Slowly, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never ever settle for less than your heart's desire. And you hang a wind chime outside your window so you can listen to the wind. And you make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting and to stay open to every wonderful possibility. Finally, with courage in your heart and with God by your side you take a stand, you take a deep breath and you begin to design the life you want to live as best as you can.
We are not free from the consequences of our actions.
Our common sense, because like it or not we will pay the price.
And get 20 years. That is an income of $250 per year and the privilege of being raped, beaten, and terrorized by a lower class of neighbors for a big chunk of our lives.
If we want to do drugs ... the better part of valor would be to use our brains first while they still work. Why not first try out a few new viewpoints. How will we look to our suppliers and their associates? How about our family and neighbors, our employers and law enforcement personnel? Last but not least, how will we look to the caretakers of our slack jawed drooling remains?
We are free to drop out of school ... and be second class citizens for the rest of our lives.
We are free to make the lives of those around us easier.
We are FREE to do anything we want to anybody we want at any time we want.
evil for evil and good for good.
"...hey, life is a snowball gathering snow, you roll where you roll, and everything you pick up is what makes you what you are." — "Vito Orsini" in the novel Lovers by Judith Krantz.
I gather what has been summarized above is........we have been created as human beings (other creatures have this also) with the ability (autonomy.....if the opportunity is not restricted), "THE freedom of choice and will", although other animals are constrained by numerous elements.........which come with circumstances and consequences.
Personally, I prefer to accept we were created with the ability to make choices and free will........."'Freedom" is not innately given, but rather earned in some fashion and also requires opportunity to express or experience......The internal ability of choice and freewill, not necessarily the actions taken by such, are not void of circumstances or consequences, whether experienced now, later or in another realm.
Just another of my thoughts for the day.
I don't think our children know what an apron IS.
used for cleaning out dirty ears or wiping a runny nose.
and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.
old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove.
apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.
"Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool.
Her granddaughter's set theirs on the window sill to thaw".
A group of cousins, established in their careers, got together to visit their old Grandfather at his home. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his grandchildren hot chocolate, the Grandfather went to the kitchen and returned with a tray that contained a large pot of chocolate and a large assortment of cups. The cups ranged from porcelain to china, crystal, glass, plastic, and paper. He then invited them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.
When all the grandchildren had a cup of chocolate in hand, the Grandfather said, "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves; the best is the source of your problems and stress.
Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the chocolate.
In most cases it is just more expensive, and in some cases even hides what we drink.
What all of you really wanted was chocolate, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each other's cups.
Listen to me, life is the hot chocolate; the jobs, money and positions in society are the cups.
The cups are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define you, nor change the quality of Life you live. Sometimes by concentrating only on obtaining the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us. God gives us the hot chocolate, not the cups..........its up to you to enjoy your hot chocolate (your life) !

One of the things I struggle with in my life is my need to help people. I have seen people suffer, I have felt suffering myself, and knowing how destructive it is, I have always strived to help people move beyond that suffering.
I had begun to work with beads very early in my life, my family is very artistic and my counselors encouraged me to seek emotional outlets in safe and healthy ways. Beads allowed me to work through my depressions and sort out my frustrations. The repetitive nature helped me to focus and calm down when things got too intense. I had worked my way through drawing comics to crochet and painting, but when it all comes down to it, it is the precision and color of beads that drew me to bead work. It allowed me to satisfy my need for 'perfection' by being perfect for me. You can count on the shapes of the beads and plan your pattern around them. All it takes is some thread and time and eventually you will have a thing of beauty.
The problem quickly became a question of how did creating jewelry help others? Let's be honest it's an expensive hobby and not nearly as important as food or shelter when it comes down to basic human needs. Many of the people I found myself surrounded by early in my life were struggling to make ends meet. They couldn't buy jewelry and it was selfish to want something pretty when you had to save up just to pay rent. Believing I could make a living by creating jewelry was a dream that I couldn't afford to strive for. So believing beads held no value for anyone but myself I pursued a career in the medical field. It fulfilled my need to help people, but at the expense of my own sanity. The hours were long, the work thankless and dirty. While I enjoyed helping people, I burnt out quickly.
I make jewelry because I have walked through darkness. I have felt despair like ice beneath my skin. Whether it be negative criticism about the quality of my work, or complaints about who I am 'supposed' to be or even the isolation of being in an abusive relationship. I have felt the deep depression of one who has spent way to much time staring into the abyss. I believed the lies that because I enjoyed girlie things I was lesser in some ways. I believed that by wanting beauty in my life I was selfish and greedy.
The thing about the abyss is once you are in ensconced in the darkness, it's easy to remain there. It's misery can be deceptively comfortable. The idea of hope suddenly becomes foolish because the bullies tell you it is. The darkness becomes your new accepted reality.
I believed that for a very long time.
But for me making beautiful things allows me to drive away the sorrow and pain of daily life so that I can see that the world isn't a horrible place. There is beauty still out there, there is still a reason to hope for the best, even if it is just for today, even if it is for just one, more, day.
If my jewelry can do that for me, then perhaps it can do that for others. If it gives even one other person the ability to hope for a better day, then surely that person sees it as helpful. Surely it can be their talisman for hope in a better life.
Through all my careers, through a failed marriage, through the ups and downs in life, beads have helped carry me over the troubled waters. They have become an armor I wear against the darkness, who's hateful lies tell me that suffering is the only thing I can do in this life. It drives away the thought that being called 'girly' means you are weaker, dumber, or of less value, that seeking out positive things means you aren't focused on 'the reality of the world' when, in fact, reality includes those positive things too. Creating jewelry, for me, drives away the thought that I am not good enough to be loved for who I am simply because I don't meet some ephemeral set of societal 'standards'. I wear jewelry because it makes me feel pretty in a world that says I am not pretty enough.
For me, life has gotten so much better. I have beauty I can wear on the outside that reminds me that it is the light that we have on the inside that makes us truly beautiful. I have someone who loves me to remind me that I had to love myself first. I have compassion for those who suffer because I have suffered and seek to ease their pain in the best way I can.
To you who read this I want you to know: It is not foolish to hope. No matter what society says, you don't have to focus on the negativity in the world. Bad things happen, but they aren't the ONLY things happening. Good works are going on all around you, they are just quieter and usually more humble. I want you to know that you are beautiful and it is okay to think yourself as such. Even if your hair isn't the right color or your teeth don't line up or your 'too fat' or you don't make enough money. If you are constantly working on who you are as a person, your light will shine through.
In this world, hope is not a luxury we can take for granted.
And that, my friends, is why I create jewelry.

Wanting the connection when she wants rebound. It's over. But now she wants to reconnect?
Hit it off with a gal. Before our first date I made it clear I'm looking for a serious thing. Fully knowing she just got dumped by her 4yr bf and is looking for the rebound. I even told this girl I'm looking for my wife, trying to scare her off! Yet she kept pursuing. So then, **** it, I bit and asked her out.
Things went fairy tale great. But it became obvious by date 3 we are looking for diff things—as my gut told me, she doesn't want to settle down. I said it's a shame, I made myself so clear and in the end you pursued me. She denied it obviously. She'd rather play stupid than admit I'm right. She claimed miscommunication. So to give her the benefit of the down, I told her my intentions. She said I want to date this other guy but it prob won't last—but don't bank on me. I fucking laughed. Said, don't worry, I never bank on anything. I hope he's a good guy and if we're both available later, fate will take its course. Enjoy him and I'll do my thing. She then said she'll find something cool for us to do. I said whatever. I didn't want to agree to shit obviously.
So I moved on. Now we're involved with other people. We called each other a couple times after the breakup and we both agree that what we have really is a mutual thing. Yet here we are with other people. She also got pretty jealous when she found out I found a girl so quick and wanted to know everything about her and what we did. After which she tells me that her thing with her guy won't last more than a few weeks. Wow ok, now a few weeks. So I didn't say yes or no—saying yes, to me, would have put her on my back burner and I don't want to that to a girl I like a lot. And saying no would have burned a bridge and I don't burn bridges with anyone that expresses care for me.
So here we are, a few weeks later. And my new gal will be leaving her contracting gig soon and I won't see her for a while :( So the thought is now entering my mind of course about this other one.
**** it, or pursue it?
Respond to JohnStarks:
You are her backup plan. If this thing with her current guy doesn't work out, she'll be back knocking on your door. But it won't last because you aren't her first choice now, which means you never will be.
For your own peace of mind, you really should end things with her. You aren't being fair to the woman you're currently seeing either.

@colette: Date 1 I was her first choice. She let me in emotionally and physically. But you're right. Need to move on
You are with someone. You either are with her or you break up. While she is gone are you staying together?
You have only been on a few dates and you want something different than she does. Sounds like your in a different place in your life than she is.
You keep reposting the same thing because you dont like what people advise? Why ask?
@LadyKat: It's such a long story that I can't even summarize what happened properly. I'll write it down and then reread it, and each time I don't feel it captures the situation I'm in.
"if we are both available later, fate will take it's course."
Neither one of you are available.
She's still dating the other guy, for the time being.
You are still with your girl. (Have you discussed with her that the relationship will end when she leaves town?)
I feel a bit bad for your current respective partners. You two are planning your next move before you are legitimately available.
Ask your gf what she thinks.

That's a tough situation you're in.
If the girl you're in love with isn't seriously serious with you, start the process for purging your feelings for her. Or wait for it to die out. Accepting that she won't be yours making your life a lot easier.
I'm in the same boat. I fell in love with someone, but I've been dealing with the pain to let him go emotionally. The fact that I don't want relationships with someone who isn't in love with me. I had no idea how he felt for me. He made it sounds he didn't feel the same in a nice way, but he kept/keeps coming back to me which was/has been killing me. I'm facing it. I won't blocked him. At this month, I don't care whether he talks to me or not. I enjoy my feelings for him because it won't last. I will be falling in love many times from a distance or closer.
@1nluvwithu: Thanks for sharing!
Although, I'm not in love. She actually told someone who ran into her that she loves me (could've been in a playful manner) but that was odd to me. I do like her a lot obviously. And she says the feeling is mutual. She's immature and doesn't know what she wants. But you're right in probably forgetting about her.
@JohnStarks: That's a lot easier. Let her know you won't accept games. And be honest with people who are genuinely in love with you. Don't take advantage of them and don't put yourself in that situation. Find someone you look for. Don't settle for someone who is in love with you but you're not. You will be a lot happier and satisfied and deal with fewer stressors. Don't confuse her. Falling in love is uncontrollable. If she appeared immature or she didn't know what to do with you, she could be fighting her impulses. She wanted you, but in her subconscious, she wanted a reciprocated feeling. We don't want to put ourselves in a relationship with someone who isn't in love with us. Not worth it in the long run.
I'd rather be alone than in a relationship with someone who never fell in love with me. I don't care how much he makes me crazy, I won't be in a relationship with that person.

Last Sixteen in brief …
The first quarter-final place was claimed by New Zealand's third seed Joelle King, overcoming Joshana Chinappa in four games. King stormed through the first then held off a late challenge from Chinappa in the second. The Indian recovered from a mid-game deficit in the third to pull one back, but after a tight opening to the fourth King stormed ahead to claim a place in the last eight. King will now meet Northern Ireland's Madeline Perry, who beat Kasey Brown 3-1 in the final match of the afternoon session.
Defending champion Nicol David eased through to the quarters as the world number one beat young Kiwi Megan Craig in straight games. She'll meet England's Jenny Duncalf who also won in three, against Canadian Sam Cornett.
In the men's draw Guernsey flag-bearer Chris Simpson came through a lengthy four-game tussle with Australia's Ryan Cuskelly to book the first quarter-final spot. Defending champion Nick Matthew disappointed the Glasgow crowd as he beat top Scot Alan Clyne in straight games. On the birthday of both players, the top seed was in control for most of the match, Clyne saving the best for last as he saved four match balls before finally succumbing.
Peter Barker kept the English bandwagon rolling as the third seed beat Nafiizwan Adnan in straight games. He'll meet Cameron Pilley for a place in the semi-finals after the hard-hitting Aussie ended Scottish interest in the singles draws with a straight-games win over Greg Lobban.
The evening session started with another two English wins and two thoroughly entertaining four-game matches as Alison Waters beat Aussie veteran Rachael Grinham, and world champion Laura Massaro edged past Guyana's Nicolette Fernandes 14-12 in the fourth.
I ndia's Dipika Pallikal secured a quarter-final spot as she beat Malaysia's Delia Arnold in straight games, but fifth seed Low Wee Wern made it two Malaysians in the last eight as she fended off a feisty fightback from Tesni Evans to win in four games.
In the men's matches Saurav Ghosal let a two-game lead slip before prevailing over Steve Finitsis in the fifth, while Kiwi Campbell Grayson ended the run of giant-killer Kelvin Ndhlovu in straight games.
Young Malaysian Ivan Yuen took over as the giant-killer though as the 15th seed beat Botswana's Alister Walker, the sixth seed, in four games where he showed fine shotmaking and retrieving skills, and second seed James Willstrop claimed the final place in the quarter-finals, his straight-game win over Martin Knight taking the English tally to six, three in each event.
Ivan Yuen: "That was one of my best matches – I'm really happy," said the 23-year-old from Kuala Lumpur. "When I was leading, I thought 'this time I have a chance'. I stayed focussed, telling myself to play my own game.
"I was quite relaxed, I think the pressure was on him.
"It's my first time in the quarters – one of the best results of my career."
Nick Matthew: "It's so bizarre that we have the same birthday and then play in the Commonwealth Games on that day," said 34-year-old Matthew. "It's freaky!
"I got the job done. He was playing his best stuff at the end there and I've not had a match of that quality for a while. Even with the injury, our season ended in May so it was May since my last game in front of a crowd like this, so it will stand me in good stead for the rest of the tournament.
"The last few days I've had the flag-bearing; on Thursday it was my 100th cap; and today my birthday. Hopefully there's nothing on Saturday! I'm ready to focus on the squash now."
Chris Simpson: "It was a very tense match – there was a lot of to'ing and fro'ing in the match. There was an injury break in the fourth after I accidentally trod on his toe which I think aggravated an earlier injury. I was starting to get back in to the match and it ruined my momentum, but then I had a good finish.
"I was very nervous this morning, thinking about the expectations of my country after carrying the flag at the Opening Ceremony – what if I dropped out without even getting the chance to get on the glass court?
"It's a real relief to know that my next match is on the glass court – now I can allow myself to go and see what the setup looks like," explained the world No23. "I refrained from doing so until I'd earned my place on it!
"Playing here is not just about being in the Commonwealth Games, but about representing Guernsey. For such a small country, Guernsey are doing a great job in supporting us over here."
Alison Waters: "That was very tough," said the No4 seed. "Rachael played really well – I had to dig deep in the third.
"You don't get many last 16 matches in front of a crowd like this. It was a great feeling when you walk into the arena."
Megan Craig: "It was amazing – the best experience of my life, for sure," said the 16th seed Kiwi. "You couldn't ask for more: playing on an all-glass court, in front of this amazing crowd, and against the number one in the world – it just doesn't get any better. It's so good for squash.
"Getting selected to be here has been my biggest goal for a long time – and I guess the next will be to break into the world's top 30 and winning some big events. I really want squash to be in the Olympics – I could be in my prime then!
"I'm now looking forward to playing in the doubles. I'm playing with Kylie Lindsay and we meet Nicol and (Low) Wee Wern in the first round. We played them recently and lost by just one point!"
Joelle King: "I'm glad to get through that one. I started off really well and had a patch where Joshana really came back and had a bit of momentum but I relaxed again in the fourth and got the win," said world No4 King.
"The crowd was amazing – I had butterflies in my stomach coming out there. The court is probably one of the best courts I've ever played on.
"I guess it is the biggest event of my career. I've probably been preparing since I lost in the quarter-finals in the singles last time."
Cameron Pilley: "I made it this far four years ago but need to look forward to a good win tomorrow to give myself medal chances.
"The atmosphere here is amazing – just unbelievable. It's like a Coliseum – like playing in a pit of Scots! Hopefully the crowd will switch their allegiances to me tomorrow!"
Jenny Duncalf: "I'm pretty pleased, I've not played Sam before so I didn't want to take her for granted at all, she's a good player. I started off quite well and managed to keep my focus, I didn't give her any errors and I was moving well."
Madeline Perry: "Delhi was stressful for me – so it's all about enjoying it this time," said the 37-year-old world No11 from Belfast. "I've always struggled with Kasey – she's beaten me a good few times. But today I felt I was in control of most of the rallies.
"I tore my adductor a few months ago which knocked me back a bit – and it's only the last month or so that I've felt normal!
"Retirement? I think I said it after the last three Commonwealth Games – and I'm still here. But I think this will definitely be my last Games!"
Saurav Ghosal: "I played pretty well in the first two games but Steve did fantastically well to take the next two," said the world No4 seed from Kolkata.
"It was neck and neck in the fifth – I was 7-6 down but managed to string together four or five points in a row to take the match.
"Winning a match like that is physically demanding, but it gives you a lot of confidence mentally," Ghosal continued. "I have really been focussing on the Commonwealth Games for the last six or seven months. I am very happy to be the first Indian to make the quarter-finals."

An underwater oasis is waiting to be discovered as you pop on your snorkel and mask to reveal one of the Great Barrier Reef's biggest swimming pools at Lady Musgrave Island.
The protected lagoon is truly unique on this coral cay island, where you can play castaway on a bare-bones camping adventure or hop aboard a luxury vessel and visit in star worthy style.
This is truly unspoilt, authentic island living at its best and with a maximum of 40 people allowed to camp at any one time, you will have an uncrowded Barrier Reef adventure to boot.
If you choose to daytrip instead, you can view the reef by glass bottom boat, go diving, snorkelling, take island walks and discover the amazing and pristine reef habitat many marine and land animals call home.
Get up close with 'flying' manta rays, view turtles smoothly swimming through the ocean, try to pick out what reef fish you know from the abundant life under the sea.
If you are lucky enough to be visiting between November to March you might see turtles carefully laying their clutches of eggs (November to January) or babies sprouting forth for their first dip in the big blue yonder (January to March).
Take an island walk and take in the abundant flora and fauna unique to this island.
You can spend as little as one day or weeks playing castaway and discovering this uninhabited reef island - nature's aquarium, aviary and rookery all in one.
