dual-bootgpartedinstallationpartitioning
So, when I installed Ubuntu a long time ago, I made five partitions.
I only got 1 gb free on my "/" partition and I would like to resize the "home" partition to give at least 10 to 15 gbs more to the "/" partition…
What should I do?
Ignore the warning, it is obsolete. With a correctly installed grub ( Ubuntu does it correctly ), resizing isn't a problem.
Note that assuming your /home partition comes after your / partition, all of the data there will first have to be moved to the left and then the partition extended. Depending on the size of /home, this can take quite some time, and if it is interrupted ( power fail? ), the whole fs will be trashed.

you can boot from ubuntu cd/dvd/usb instalation, choose "try ubuntu" search for "gparted" application on dash, launch it, and it will show you like this (example, it can different from yours)
to resize, click the partition you want to change, click resize (red mark) and it will show like this
to resize you can move (the red mark)
hope this will solve your problem
