I think you will have to post a lot more detail if you want help. Specific steps you took to do this, explain what the 'procedure' is. Do you want to boot the usb in UEFI mode, Legacy/CSM mode or...
You need to first know the complete path to where the partition on the drive you want to use the chown command exists. Using Ubuntu, this will generally be under /media/username and on a 'live' usb...
The sites from which you can download an Ubuntu iso (or derivative such as Lubuntu) almost always have instructions on doing an md5 or sha checksum so that you can verify the download was not...
That would an EFI partition. Is your install of 16.04 EFI? I doubt it or it would already have an EFI partition which would show as FAT32 or vfat in most cases.
Can you clarify what you want...
Just a couple of guesses as I haven't used windows 7 in years. Do you have windows 7 hibernated or are you using Dynamic disks. Do you see the other drives? Also, you are not using the unsupported...
The thread at the link below to a Mac user forum discusses the issue so I'd suggest reading it. Don't use Macs myself so...?
I don't think have 2 lines in /etc/default/grub is correct although I...
If you are using EFI, you should have boot options in the BIOS firmware that can set which OS is used for the primary bootloader. If you don't change that, doing an update including Grub and the...
What is on the usb? If nothing on it, what was on it? I'd start by rewriting the partition table, don't know if you know how to do that but it's fairly simple with GParted. Obviously this will...
I'd definitely start with verifying the download because if it was bad, nothing with any software can overcome that. Go to the Ubuntu download site below and click on verify your download on that...
In what directory on the system were you when you got the error "Can't create .foldername"? How did you try to create it? Were you in the terminal using mkdir? Your new user should have a...
I've never seen the error you refer to. Did you google it and find any sites with suggestions. Link below discusses it, seems like an extreme solution but might be worth bookmarking if nothing else...
Go to the link below and read through the page to understand it. Scroll down on the page and use the instructions under 2nd option to download it to your Ubuntu system. Then follow the instructions...

The partition with the problem as shown in the image in your initial post is the / (root) filesystem partition, sda2. The command df -h only displays mounted partitions so that's not a problem. It...
Newer Acer machines have a requirement to set a Supervisor Password in the BIOS firmware and enable Trust in order to use an OS other than what is preinstalled. Of course, if I am reading your post...
If you are going to be using it regularly and keeping it attached, then permanently mount it. You can do all of this during the install.
You don't need a separate /boot partition. If you are using windows 10 default it will be EFI on a GPT drive and Ubuntu will be installed EFI also. The EFI files for both windows and Ubuntu will be...
If you are getting grub rescue it is because the grub configuration file can't be found. When you boot, enter the command below and try it
.
If that fails, make not of the exact error and post...
On newer Acer machines with windows 10 preinstalled, you need to set a supervisor password in the BIOS firmware and enable trust to install anything other than windows. Have you done that and do you...
I don't see how a windows update would affect the GUI/Graphics on your Kubuntu install as they are totally separate operating systems. Common problems with windows upgrades are turning on Secure...

How did you try to resize your disk? How large did you create the disk? What is the host operating system on which you installed VirtualBox and Ubuntu inside Virtualbox? That's my understanding of...
If clicking the down arrow to the right of where you see sda doesn't show your other drive(s) and you have windows 8/10 installed most likely situation is you left windows hibernated so boot it and...
For future use, be aware that the system will generally work a lot better if you have 10% free space available on a LInux system, more on a windows OS.
