How do I get rid of unused space on LVM2 PV?

Question

I have a slight problem. After resizing my Ubuntu LVM2 Physical Volume from 250G to 72G, Gparted was able to let me click on the resize button on /dev/sda5

But when I apply the changes it gives me this error:

I want my final partition layout to look like this:

I suggest using lvm resize from a terminal or use a GUI package

You can install system-config-lvm:

sudo apt-get install system-config-lvm

You can also manage your encrypted disks via cryptsetup and lvm package

For more information on how to use it, see man cryptsetup and man lvm.
