Hm, after re-reading, I see this is probably not really from the live- CD. For installed systems, I think what swap partitions are used depends on what is configured on install, and that depends on what's available on install. Or what's added by the admin afterwards of course.
Anyway, unmounting the swap partition (from inside GParted or otherwise) should solve your problem. The fact that you can't change the partition table on a device that has one or more partitions in use is by design. -- Cannot resize partition on drive where swap partition resides https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
