How can 'ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv' be resized to use all the space in sda3?

How can I make ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv consume the entire 799 GBs?

Try

   lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv 

And then resize the fs by running

   resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

Can this be done from the running system, or must it be done from a live USB for example? Is it possible to combine the steps by adding `--resizefs` to the `lvextend` command?

I would run it from the system.

Thanks. The commands did not work, sorry to say.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
