Okay yeah... you have two separate Ubuntu partitions. You'll want to remove one of them.
First, back up any files you want to keep, in case something goes wrong.
Then go to GParted and in the upper right where the dropdown says "/dev/sda", choose "/dev/sdb". That's the disk where your Ubuntu partitions are. Delete the one you don't want anymore (whichever one isn't mounted; I would guess it's the larger one, /dev/sdb5) and the corresponding swap partition.
Then run "sudo update-grub" which will regenerate the boot menu to reflect the change.
After this everything should work, but unless you want to leave a blank unused space on your disk, you'll want to grow your current one to fill up the space. You can't make changes to a partition you're currently mounted to, so pop in your Ubuntu CD and run GParted from the trial. Then you'll be able to resize the partition to fill up the empty space.
