I have Ubuntu 14 installed and it dual boots with Windows 10. I want to extend the size of the Ubuntu partition.

I followed this article: How to extend my root (/) partition?

But when I swapoff my linux-swap, it says "Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5"

How do I resize now?

Here is the image:

I have 15GB and 4.5GB unallocated. How do I extend my current Ubuntu partition?

Regarding

Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5

Use a live dvd session to do this. Not the current system. You can not alter partitions that are in use unless you un-mount them and you can not un-mount an active / partition. Using a live session dvd is preferred to avoid these issues.

If you do are using a live session please un-mount the partitions by right-clicking on the launcher icon or the icon on the desktop.
