[Bug 1844726] [NEW] cant bring system back to life

[Daniel]

Public bug reported:

 First I install Ubuntu, than change desktop to xfce because I dislike
Unity. Than I tried to change the directory in thunderbird to /dev/sda2
but thunder bird says no rights to do so. Tunar also say no rights to
write. after change the fstab from -ro to -rw the system doesn't
restart. Trying to change the fstab from the live system wont work, the
drive can not be found.

After all I decided to reformat the drive an install ubuntu again.
Than happens this.

Information:
In my last try the disk was partitioned in two drives sda2 and sda5.
Drive sda2 for Files and sda5 for the System. I have no idea why there was no sda1, sda3 and sda4.
120 GB SSD with 30 GB for System and 40 GB for Files, 50 GB nothing
