The partition /dev/sda6 cannot be directly partitioned: it is inside of the extended partition /dev/sda4, and /dev/sda4 is full.

To increase the size of '/' you will need to:

  • first increase the size of '/dev/sda4'
  • Move the new 'unallocated space' inside '/dev/sda4' to become adjacent to (next to) '/dev/sda6'
  • Increase the size of '/dev/sda6' to include the free space.

None of this should be done while Ubuntu is running. Please create a liveUSB, Back up your data, and boot from the liveUSB, selecting "Try Ubuntu" when prompted. Once booted from the USB you will be able to use gparted to manipulate the partitions on your disk.
