First time dualbooting, can't create partition

[Bartender]

gparted is available on ubuntu livecd too.

Yeah, I know, but then you've got the hassles of unmounting swap, etc. Have you ever tried a GParted LiveCD? I can't imagine anyone going back to the partitioner on the install CD after they've run a stand-alone GParted disc.

Just my two cents...

So I've got it to work and have been using Ubuntu for 24 hours.
I don't know if this is important, but I've been getting some errors with the Libre suit for some reason. Is this common? I'll try to post a picture later on.
