I wanted to expand disk for Ubuntu 18.04 on my dual boot acer. Everything was running smoothly but it needed some extra space because I gave it initially only 20 GB.
So I sliced another 40 GB in windows Disk manager.
In Linux GParted, I added disk as sda7 ext4 and mounted it. But it didn't acted as I expected when I wanted to install something it still hadn't enough space.
And from there I really messed up. I re-wrote partition tables according to this procedure: https://www.ryadel.com/en/resize-extend-disk-partition-unallocated-disk-space-linux-centos-rhel-ubuntu-debian/
And after reboot it is going only to GRUB 2.04.
Below is boot-repair report:

Can anyone advise how to boot to Ubuntu again? I see that sda6 is lacking boot sector type, etc. Any advise how to fix it?
