I have a problem. When I install Ubuntu, I make only one partition and encrypt this partition. Now I want to make second partition with different file type. How I can "decrypt" partition or... take 100GB from existing 500GB partiotion.

P.S. I already tried from "boot cd" but gparded have problem with encrypted partition.

How I can:

a) Make second partition from "live system".

b) Take encryption off, so gparted from "live cd" can do the work??

"Great security comes with great responsibility"... ;-)

The conclusion of @user68186 is correct: backup everything and recreate. I would back up everything twice: one system back-up using CloneZilla disk-to-image (will be encrypted as well) and one file backup (please do that one unencrypted to avoid more trouble later on, use your current back-up program.) of the following directories: 

bin        Videos     Desktop    Pictures                 
Documents  Music      Public     Downloads  Templates

Read this Q&A on the strategy to use. You’re definitely user type 4!
