I am trying to extend my ext4 partition using the GParted application. I've tried a number of times to get this to work, but it seems impossible.
I've seen many threads about the issue being the unallocated space isn't next to the correct partition, there's a swap in the way, etc. But this isn't my case, as the unallocated space is directly to the left of the ext4 partition I want to extend.
When I go to resize, it doesn't give me the option to move to the left, just the right:
Am I missing something here?

You are trying to modify your mounted root partition with gparted which doesn't work. You have to boot gparted from a live CD/USB from USB or CD, or boot from another linux (live system) since you cannot unmount this partition while being in use.
