I upgraded my wife's computer to the latest version of Ubuntu (yes my wife runs linux on her PC). It wouldn't let me upgrade for some reason so installed it on a a new partition (it did allow me to import all of her settings, which was good). But that partition is now too small and is out of space. I said to myself, "self, I'll just boot to the live CD, shrink the old partition, and grow the new one into that space". It about half worked. I shrank the old partition, but it wouldn't let me grow the new one into that space. Anyone know how to do this? The only reason I am keeping the old is in case there is something on it that she needs. Once I'm sure there isn't, then I was going to kill it and then grow the new system parition into that space as well. But obviously I can't do that yet either.
Old config:
[-----old system partition-----][--new--][-swap-]
Now config:
[--old--][--empty--][--new--][-swap-]
Desired:
[--old--][-------new-------][-swap-]
