Install Linux on a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox

[@workdowg]

I've probably done at least 100 virtualbox installs but I wish I had had this video to watch when I first started. I'll be using this resource for people to ask me about it! Keep explaining Gary!

[@jagardina]

Loading various OSes in VirtualBox has become a hobby. I watch DistroTube and follow along with my own install. I liked all the ancient OSes you have installed. OS/2, Solaris, XP...

[@byrw9557]

At over 70, I am trying to get up the nerve to do some virtual boxes and learn some Linux... particularly, POP OS. I have looked everywhere for some time for an in-depth vid like yours. How wonderful!!! Thanks so much fore all your efforts. This is just what I needed for the encouragement to go forward!!!

[@JustCallMeFluffy]

thank you so much! I am new to virtualization and this was a great tutorial to get started. Ubuntu is up and running!

[@dave6386]

Thanks Man, You did a really great job here! Fellow brit here so I have to nitpick a little, heheh, Just one little thing Enable VT-x (Intel) or in my case on my Ryzen 2700x, I had to go into BIOS and enable AMD-V for 64bit OS to work with VirtualBox. But you got me up and running very fast. Thank you very much indeed! I Subscribed and liked. Great presentation, course I may be a little biased! ;) Interested to see what else you have on your channel, this was my first video of yours.

[@Jman2008xxl]

Thanks for the straightforward video. I'm just starting my intro to Linux/Unix online course and this will be great to use instead of having to rely entirely on the college's server. Thanks again for the vid.

[@swandive46]

When I try this, it just loads me directly into a temporary environment, with no option to install Linux.

[@rootcanal7188]

Thanks for the video. If you want to have a VPN running on Ubuntu, do you add that directly to Ubuntu, or can you do that from Windows? Sorry if that is a dumb question

[@tonycavanagh1929]

Thanks great post but You missed out a step , what does please remove the installation medium then press enter mean. Because you pressed enter. I am only asking because I need to make my virtual box resizeable, it dafaults to fixed. And to fix it I have to select insert guests additions CD, and it complains that I cant insert a new CD, because its in there.

[@CitizenLou3]

This was awesome thanks!

[@mvk4343]

I thought you had to boot stuff in virtualbox from the LiveUSB of your target OS lol. Thank you for showing that isn't the case.

When i get to the part after instalastion where it tells you to restart, i click the restart button and it does not restart, it somewhat freezes, can somebody help me.

[@oriel151]

Amazing vid. Thank you gary

[@olitoofit8135]

It says that i cant accept the configuration because the virtual machine in settings is activated and when i deactivate it it still does like if it was still activated

[@bertnijhof5413]

I moved all my "work" and hobbies to a Virtualbox Virtual Machine (VM), because it avoids compromises between hardware support and user work-flow. My Host-OS takes care of the adaptation to the AMD Ryzen hardware and to dual monitors and work spaces, while the Virtual Machines (VM) are optimized for office + email or banking or jukebox or experiments. I run the same VMs on laptop and desktop and run an incremental backup weekly, so on the road I have exactly the same installation as on my desktop at home.

[@alecparfitt]

When setting memory size @2:00, does this give that RAM to the virtual machine indefinitely or just when VirtualBox is running?

[@GaryExplains]

Just while the VM is running.

[@fredfred1247]

So, In order to run if your PC supports AMD-v or VT-x (depending on ur processor): turn it on in ur bios then run the VM

[@AbdelrhmanBadr-yr1xl]

Thanks for the great video ... I faced the problem: The hardware virtualization is enabled in the acceleration section of the system page, and here is the solution: 1) Open your BIOS settings. 2) You have to enable virtualization technology.

[@existingdude4949]

When I try to run any youtube video in the VM, firefox crashes :(. Am I doing something wrong?

[@kavehmeghdady8359]

Probably Your pc doesn't have enough power to do it I mean youtube uses ur computer's strenght And also Virtualbox uses alot of it

[@robsolo37]

how many OS can you have in one virtual machine??

[@GaryExplains]

You mean like dual boot a virtual machine or do you mean can you setup multiple virtual machines in virtual box? If it is the latter then I don't know of an actual limit (there might be) but basically how much disk space you have. Running several machines simultaneously depends on how much memory you have and the power of your processor.

Thanks for the guide. Just a correction on the pronunciation of Ubuntu: the first syllable is the same as the first one in 'oorah' (as the yanks say). The emphasis is on the second syllable, as you're already doing, so the 'oo' sound is still said in the same amount of time it takes to say 'yoo' and with the exact same emphasis.
