At 7:27, after putting the password in, in the video, the partition got resized. But on mine, nothing happened. What to do at this point?

[zevanb]

got an error "Error resizing partition /dev/sda1: failed to set partition size on device 'dev/sda' (Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.) (udisks-error-quark, 0)"

Hey! thanks for the video, you really need to add on the title the keyword "Virtualbox", I wish I could have found this video before going a completely different harder way

Where have you been all day, I've been searching for you! Thanks a lot!

Awesome! I didn't know this was available! I figured I'd have to clone the existing sytem elsewhere, repartition and copy the clone back. That's what I get for not exploring. Keep up the good work.
