Error when resizing a ext4 partition

I used Gparted to resize a ext4 partition but it fails.
This is the command:
% resize2fs -p /dev/sdb5
resize2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
resize2fs: Filesystem has unsupported read-only feature(s) while trying to open /dev/sdb5 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
I've been searching about this problem and I found similar issues in CentOS and Redhat for which it is recommended to use resize4fs (ext4). However this is not available for Ubuntu 16.04.
How could I tackle this problem?

Partition has to be unmounted. You cannot run from your working system, but need to use live installer's gparted or download the latest gparted ISO and use it.

Using gparted from a recent live CD is the best answer I can think of too. Can you post it as an answer? I would, but I don't want to take credit from you.

There is noresize4fs. It appears that you are using a newer ext4 feature in which case, you need to use a newer release than 16.04 to resize it.

Are you root/did you use sudo ?

As suggested in the comments a recent gparted live CD solved my problem. I could resize the partition without problems using a live CD of gparted v0.30.0.
However my laptop did not boot after the resizing. The grub got destroyed!!
I solved this with a live CD of systemrescueCd. I restored the grub using the solution 2 from here.
