1What do you mean? If you installed the system in auto mode, it has made partitioning for you. – Pilot6 May 30 '15 at 18:55

1Good. You have everything done. Nothing to worry about. You could manually create partitions, but if you want one system, default install is quite good. – Pilot6 May 30 '15 at 19:34

Why do you need it? – Pilot6 May 31 '15 at 09:00

You have a good standard partitioning. There is no need to change it. – Pilot6 May 31 '15 at 11:21

You can use gparted, depending what you want to do. It has a gui, so it is very easy to use

Alright, that partition table is quite ugly. I'd make it different. If you want to apply the changes that I'm going to suggest, you need to start a live session of Ubuntu, like you did for installing the OS on your system.
After launching the live session, open the dash and start gparted.
Now, I don't like two things in your partition table:
1- The swap partition is HUGE for its purpose;
2- You have a large root(/) partition without a separate home (/home) partition.
How to fix those things:
1- Open gparted from a live session;
2- Select the swap partition and resize it to a maximum of 2048Mib (the equivalent of 2Gib). To do that, there's a button in the top menu (view image):
NOTE: do not use my partition table.
3- Resize the root partition (mount point /) to something like 25Gib (it depends on your needs, it can be way larger if you want).
4- Now, with the free space remaining, create a new primary-ext4 partition with mount point set as /home.
Now, you'll have a standard partition table, with a root partition, a home partition and a swap partition.

How did you find out OP's partitioning? Or is it a re-post of some answer? – Pilot6 May 31 '15 at 10:51

And where it is now? I do not see it in edit history either. EFI is mount a wrong way BTW. – Pilot6 May 31 '15 at 10:55

I never said that he should follow my partition table, please read the post. I don't think a partition with +7Gib of swap is any good. – May 31 '15 at 11:22
