There are other similar questions however none has provided an answer that works for me.
My VirtualBox Ubuntu VM has grown out of available storage and I would like to add more space to the main partition.
I have added storage to the Ubuntu drive then booted using Gparted Live to attempt to resize the partition, however the partition is shown as locked (has a key icon next to it) and so gparted is unable to resize it.
I tried deactivating and reactivating it, but that didn't help.
Any suggestions on how to make the partition resizeable from Gparted live?
Update: added screen shot.
You can see the grayed out controls which indicate that I can't make any changes.
Yes, I have tried to unmount and re-mount the partition but it gets back to the same locked state.
And yes, I booted using GParted Live CD.
Update:
