I just installed Ubuntu 17 and removed my Windows 10 entirely.
I didn't have important data so I chose to erase all my data.
Now I'm facing a problem in creating a partition. Gparted keeps telling me I only have 192MB free:

Have you considered this answer in particular: https://askubuntu.com/a/237453/480481 Looks like your root partition has taken up the whole drive (except the minimal 192GB free space). – pomsky Aug 31 '17 at 00:16

Yea i tried thia method particularly, and didn't work it's 192 MB not GB. That's why it's driving me crazy – Ahmad Ayman Aug 31 '17 at 01:35

1What's your question? What are you trying to achieve? You set up Ubuntu to use logical volumes instead of partitions which can certainly be managed and resized but not with GParted. – David Foerster Sep 11 '17 at 10:04

You already have a partition created, and mounted. What are you trying to achieve? – Elder Geek Sep 17 '17 at 22:24

You need to create/modify LVM volumes using the CLI, or you could install a GUI like system-config-lvm.
In terminal...
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install system-config-lvm
Then type lvm into the Unity dashboard search box to start this app.
Do backups of important files before trying to modify LVM volumes/partitions.
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm for basic help. You can also search https://help.ubuntu.com for "system-config-lvm" and find a lot more detailed help.
