Ubuntu 10.4 Extend LVM2 VG

Runnning VSphere 4.1

I have a VM (Ubuntu 10.4), and am running out space.

Here is what I did:

a) Increase the VM disk using (edit, chose disk and increased size)

b) Booted the VM into a Knoppix Live CD and was unable to extend the LVM2 partition, but was able to resize the Extended partition. 

Can I use that space for LVM using lvextend? Or do I have to shrink newly resized partition and then use the lvextend on the free space.

Anyone run into this problem before?
