I have Ubuntu 17.10 with gnome installed on it. Something I did (removing a folder from /usr/share/gnome-shell) made me unable to use GNOME. So, I booted into recovery mode with root privileges. I made a backup of that folder before I deleted it, so I thought it would be as easy as cp -r <backup> <destination>.
Sadly, even with root privileges, it told me that it was unable to copy since /usr/share/gnome-shell/ is read-only. What do I do? Have no access to GNOME at all, and I am doing this in the Ubuntu bash recovery mode, so I can only do terminal commands.
By default, filesystems are mounted with the readonly (ro) option when in recovery mode. You will need to re-mount / in read-write (rw) mode:
mount -o remount,rw /
