re re-partition Kubuntu 3-partitions on 40gb

[Ray Burke]

Nils,
 
I did that and had a problem, as it said was performing 1 of the 2 tasks
1/ reducing the 29gb sdbe to 20gb and after 3 hours came back with error
2/ enlarging the 8bg sdbe to 19gg, but did not even start cause of above error.
 
am I supposed to in thew terminal type sudo swapoff -a or thru drop down menu of the
40gb disc, click swapoff, and when finished do I turn the swapon???????
 
ray
PS I got  some printouts form https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition?action print,and does not say anythink about swapoff??????
