Resize root partition to unallocated space before I need more space on my root partition running Ubuntu 17 (using Xfce session). I do have a lot of unallocated space BEFORE. However, when I try to resize root partition - /dev/sdb2 , I can't add/remove a MiB...  Is this even possible?   If so, can it somehow be done from the live system or do I have to use live CD/USB?    There is really just Ubuntu and Xcfe session, LUBUNTU_SYSTEM is just an old label :)
How to extend my root (/) partition? Till today I was using ubuntu 13.04 in my windows7/ubuntu dual boot. Just now I have upgraded to ubuntu 14.04. My software updater showed an updates available message. I proceeded with  Install Now . Soon I got the following window.    Then I tried sudo apt-get clean as recommended. Nothing happened! Not even a window opened. Teach me deleting the temporary packages.   Deleting temporary files may not be highly helpful in case of further updates and installs for I don't have too much space left in my /. I wanna extend my / partition with the help of the unallocated space in my HD. The following is my Gparted window.       I got an answer . But it wasn't useful for me. I had two choices. But the answer wasn't working for both my chioces.  Choice 1: I may use the 4.25 GiB unallocated space to extend my /dev/sda10. To do so, I must need to move my linux-swap partition. But my Resize/Move option is disabled for the linux-swap partition. Choice 1 failed!   Choice 2: I may use the 14.35 GiB unallocated space instead. In this case I must move more than one partition. /dev/sda4  partition is the first on the list. Even that partition has the same problem. Resize/Move option is disabled. Choice 2 failed!  I am out of choices now.  What shall I do? Help me to extend my / with Gparted.

Especially I'm interested in the first form: does it sound formal, is it used in speech or only in writing, et cetera. Is there a LaTeX trick to prevent a PDF viewer from copying the line number?

Taken from :  Show that it cannot be the case that $U=X+Y$ where $U$ is uniformly distributed on [0,1] and $X$ and $Y$ are independent and identically distributed. You should not assume that X and Y are continuous variables.  A simple proof by contradiction suffices for the case where $X$, $Y$ are assumed discrete by arguing that it always possible to find a $u$ and $u'$ such that $P(U\leq u+u') \geq P(U\leq u)$ while $P(X+Y \leq u) = P(X+Y \leq u+u')$.  However this proof does not extend to $X,Y$ being absolutely continuous or singular continuous. Hints/Comments/Critique?

Could someone help me work around this problem? I just recently bought an arduino and requires gcc-avr/avrdude to compile the software.

The earth is not a sphere, because it bulges at the equator.   I tried fiddling with centripetal force equations and gravity, but I couldn't derive why this bulge occurs.
