 1. Resize the partition (again, you can do this with the system running). GParted is easy to use and supports resizing.
 You can also use a lower level tool such as fdisk. But you'll have to delete the partition and recreate it. Just make sure when doing so that the new partition starts at the exact same location.
 2. partprobe or Reboot. Since the partition table was modified on the running system, it won't take effect until a reboot.
 3. Run pvresize /dev/sdXY to have LVM pick up the new space.
 4. Resize the logical volume with lvextend. If you want to use the whole thing, lvextend -r -l +100%FREE /dev/VGNAME/LVNAME. The -r will resize the filesystem as well.
 Though I always recommend against using the entire volume group. You never know what you'll need in the future. You can always expand later, you can't shrink.
