how can I increase my swap space in this sitution?

Question

I have 16gb Ram,but I need 48gb....so I should increase my swap space to 32. Can I? I ve tried to use Gparted but it's sth such as lock (or mount)!!!! tnx please see this shot

@YasharKubat OK, I see. As for using a live distro for resizing the partitions - as suggested in the selected answer - I've had good experience with the Gparted Live CD. — Anders Olsson, Dec 08 '15 at 07:44

You can not manipulate (change) a partition that the system is currently using.You will have to use a live environment so as to resize your partitions. In your case your system is using both system partition - dev/sda4 and the swap area dev/sda5.
