GParted of drive is:

Almost everything is wrong on this partition scheme. I see an ext4 partition with no mount point, a linux-swap partition using 59.65 GB ??? and there is no boot flag anywhere, therefore there is no active partition which the system can boot from. This scheme is definitely created manually and it's not going to work.

Since you do not want to use any other operating system on your computer, the easiest way to make it work is to re-install Ubuntu using the installer's preconfigured partition scheme. Just select the option that erases everything and installs Ubuntu from scratch.

You can refer to this page: How to use manual partitioning during installation? if you want to partition your disks manually.

Well , Manual partitions to give are as follows, Note its an example :

Mount Point    | Disk_Space(GB) | Format | Orientation
EFI Boot Part      512 MB                    At the Beginning
  /                100             ext4      At the Beginning 
  Swap             8               Swap      End of the space
  /tmp             10              ext4      End of the space
  /home            <As u like>     ext4      At the Beginning

And for IT and Entertainment space : Leave it as do not use the partitions
Boot loader to install : Select sda

After successfull installation better check in bios that you have enabled Legacy Mode for Boot rather than UEFI.Thats it.
Note: Partitions given above is only for reference.
