Ubuntu Server 18.04 LVM out of space with improper default partitioning
I installed Ubuntu Server 18.04 with the LVM option and left the default partition setup. Now my main drive only has 4GB in a 1TB hard drive. How can I fix this without starting from scratch?

Consider installing KVPM to get yourself a GUI and a better understanding on your situation/layout. Within the program you can do a lot of very powerful things.

GUI (Graphic User Interface) is what KVPM provides. I suggest to boot from a USB sick that has Ubuntu on it and install KVPM onto the stick, and run it from the stick. It may help you get a better understanding what is going on with your hard drive. Did you do an Update or a fresh install?

It appears that you need to extend your Logical Volume.
It can be a bit tricky but if you understand that there are 3 parts, it'll be much easier.
Physical Volume (PV) => The physical space on a drive.
Volume Group (VG) => An abstracted amount of drive space that can be split between multiple drives/devices.
Logical Volume (LV) => The space that ubuntu "sees"
You'll need to extend your VG all the way across your 1TB Drive (or extend however much you want), then extend the Logical Volume group to take up that space.
Technet has a nice writeup that (if you follow carefully) you'll be able to follow and extend your drive.
