Write access to folders /var/www/html

If you want to edit files in a folder try:

# chmod -R username:www-data yourDirectory

Could not mount shared folder on VirtualBox

Workaround: created a ssh connection with the host in Ubuntu's file manager:

ssh://192.168.0.xxx

There were many complex solutions. This is easy. The result is the same: you'll get files in and out of the box.

Screendump: Ubuntu 16.10 and partitions

During the weekend I've build a PC:

• GA-Z170N-Wifi
• Seasonic X-Series 750w Power Supply
• 8GB RAM

The OS is Ubuntu 16.10 booting from a 120GB SSD and whith /home/ on a 2TB WD harddisk.

The Moderboard in the box

Unboxing the motherbard

Antenna, SATA-cables, shield

Oh, and with foreground RAM. Notice the nice bokeh.

The first trialboot. Linux Mint worked from a DVD. But not on the harddrive.

Ubuntu ran like a charm.

The finished PC. Booted with Linux. To the left my trusty work laptop.

All systems up and running. Alertlevel Green.

Linux

Trying to config a new PC. Linux runs from a DVD, but the Mint / Ubuntu install crashes. I've tried all sorts of UEFI enable, diable and what not. Now I'm trying another distro: Ubuntu Studio.

Linux Mint kept crashing.

So I turned to Ubuntu 16.10. Noproblemo. Everything worked. However I did not set up the 2TB backup drive yet. That's for tomorrow.

The plan is to move /home/ to the 2GB drive.

Solution: drop mint, use Ubuntu 16.10
