Resizing partitions in Ubuntu

Because of a mistake during the instalation, I've got my Ubuntu partition with only 80GB, and my Windows 10 partition (I have a dual boot) with 180GB. My disk has 500GB.

I sucefully resized my Windows partition by moving the "Microsoft Reserved" partition to the left and next resizing the main partition.

But I can't do the same with Ubuntu, because GParted don't allows me to do it, and I can only reduce the partition. I can't neither move nor increase the Ubuntu partition. I have already tried to use the insalation media and using Gparted on another live USB (I've used Fedora). It didn't worked.

Right now, this is my partition table:

Gparted partition table

Note that there is a key symbol on the Ubuntu partition. ¿What does it mean?

The Resize/move menu shows this:

Gparted resize menu

There is no way to increase the partition, and I can't move it.

You cannot do that in you current system because you cannot unmount the root partition so you should have a live cd.
After booting to live cd unmount the root partition you want to extend. As the free space is above your root partation you have to move the partition so the data loss may occur so I strongly recommand to backup the data that are important.
After doing backup open Gparted and that right click the partition you want to extend and select resize/move. set free space preceding to 0 and add add the free partition size to new size(in your calculate around 1851024+741024 MiB). and keep the free space following to the initial value. Now this process will take a quit long time so wait to get the new partition size.
