All primary partitions are in use

[q-it-13]

Hi all,
I have a problem on a ubuntu 16.04.3 when I try to add spaces to my disks.
I add 10 Gb to my Virtual Machine and when I do

cfdisk

I can see

Free space 262144000 283115519 20971520 10G

But when I try to select New it says

All primary partitions are in use

Can you help me I know a little linux but that is out of my skills, how can I add that 10G ?

I can add

lsblk

You can't do that kinda stuff while the disk is in use. You have to boot your VM to an .iso with the tools you need in order to expand it. You can't increase the disk size on a disk that's in use. So, you just boot the image to a live .iso like you did when you installed it, only instead of installing you just use that environment to make the changes.

Isn't 16.04.3 out of support?

If they have ESM, it's still supported for security updates. I'm guessing their install version is 16.04.3 and they've since upgraded to new point releases along the way.

ESM is free for personal use, up to three computers.
