I wanted to move some space from sda2 to sda5, but when I reduced space in sda2 there appeared an unallocated space which I couldn't use when I tried to resize sda5 (sda5 was unmounted) in gparted. What am I missing?

    Try expanding sda3 first. Then resize sda5 which lives inside sda3. You will need to use gparted from a live USB. Boot from live USB. Use try Ubuntu without installing option in the live USB. – user68186 Feb 02 '19 at 14:26
  • I ran Ubuntu from USB, but there is still a key next to sda3, so it's probably mounted. What should i do? – user920512 Feb 02 '19 at 16:18
  • Since you boot from usb, you need to boot from another device to use gparted, another usb or cd with live ubuntu. Then run grub and resize-move partitions. – LeonidMew Feb 02 '19 at 20:30
