I tried unmount the ext4 partition to increase it but i got this error message.

The partition could not be unmounted from the following mount points:

You can't resize the partition Ubuntu is currently running from.

You need to boot the install media, LiveCD or USB drive, choose the option Try Ubuntu without installing. Then when it loads the desktop, you can run GParted and resize the partition as you want.
