Thanks Pat and Ed.

With remounting and installing ssh I was able to get in.

The USB is really acting up, though (I tried restarting phone and pc to
see if it helped):

- adb devices lists the device, but the ubuntu sdk only hangs on
"detecting version" when trying to connect to it. Also, it says it has
no network connection, although it has.

- adb shell worked the first time, but now it only says "error: closed"
every time.

- I was earlier able to connect to the home directory with the file
browser through usb, but now (after I did the adb shell) it doesn't work
anymore: Unable to open MTP device '[usb:002,006]'.
