I experienced the same problem with Ubuntu 9.10, however, I noticed that there was an icon with a pair of keys next to the swap and the extended partition suggesting that they were locked. So I right clicked on the swap partition and chose swap off. This took off the keys icon from both the swap and the extended partition. After that I was able to resize the extended partition.
Maybe it would be possible to detect this situation and enable the resize option but when the user tries to use it, do the swap off automatically or instruct the user to do it. -- gparted cant resize extended partition and slow to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271007 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
