If you are trying to assign a LABEL (name) to the partition that has Ubuntu, the running OS cannot be Ubuntu.

To assign a label to that partition,

  • boot from a Live ISO and "Try Ubuntu"
  • open GParted
  • select the internal drive from the drop down
  • right click on the ext4 partition
  • choose "Label Filesystem"
  • enter the Label for your filesystem, and Apply the change
  • right-click on renamed partition and choose the "Information" option
  • take note of the UUID (I believe that may have changed ... and you will need to update the fstab and the grub settings after booting from the disk image of ubuntu)
  • in Terminal session, enter "sync"
  • exit GParted
  • reboot to Linux
