Is it possible somehow to extend the partition that ubuntu is on to unused space?

Question

ubuntu

Answer 1

You write the distribution kit to a USB flash drive, make a backup of all important data in the system, boot from the USB flash drive, go to Gparted and expand the partition. You are waiting a lot. I did it, it went well, but it's better with a backup.

Answer 2

You cannot expand the root partition you booted from. Boot from Live and use GParted from there.

Answer 3

Try liveCD with gparted

Answer 4

Easily expandable, even from the main OS. Either manually via fdisk or via gparted
