I have a dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu. My Ubuntu was lacking space and free some from the Windows partition. Now I want to expand the Linux system, but GParted does not let me do it. How to expand it?

I logged in with Windows and tried to resize with the "EaseUS Partition Master 13.5" tool. Same. I could not do it.

  • The lock symbol tells you which partitions are in use, thus cannot be expanded. It's easiest to boot a live system (eg. Ubuntu install media) so your hdd/ssd partitions are not in-use. – guiverc Aug 07 '20 at 09:18

Your partitions are locked because they are in use by a running system. You need to boot into a live environment and run GParted from there. You can do this with your Ubuntu install media.
