So my dilemma is that my Ubuntu installation is on the last partition. Here is a screenshot of GParted.

Also on a hdd. Not sure if it makes a difference.

  • The little key icons show your mounted partitions. So you cannot edit those partitions. Use live installer as per answer below.

You won’t be able to resize the partition that you are current running in - it appears here that you’re booted into the Linux install that’s running on /dev/sda5? If that’s the case, you can boot a liveCD or a USB installer, so that all of the partitions on /dev/sda are unmounted. Once unmounted and booted from a liveCD you should be able to extend/resize those partitions into the unallocated space.
