Omg every video I've watched, they've never gone through the error/abort thing that pops up. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT WOULDNT WORK ALL WEEKEND.
Thank you Benjamin's Tech I really needed this tutorial, i've been in panic mode. Problem soloved. And now that it actually works. I love it. Thanks Again💫👌🏼
I was facing the NS_ERROR_FAILURE like for 2 hours and trying the fu** out like dead. No idea what that even means. It has something to do with OS Big sur and kernel extensions. But there you go, simple solution using virtual CD I MEAN LOOL. thanks you so much mate. You just got a new subscriber:)
when I tried to add the guest addition it said it couldn't be found! But thanks for an informative and helpful video..the rest of the installation went well.
Hello Benjamin, i did everything u said to make it full screen I typed in those 2 commands and did a restart, but it does not adjust to the window size. Do you have any tips how i can fix that?
Thank you for this video. My Ubuntu view windows on my macbook is tiny. I can drag the window bigger but the view stays the same, small view. and I can only see to halfway down the Continue button and cannot scroll farther down. Any thoughts how to get this looking like your window?
Thank you for explaining the process in an easy to follow manner. After installing Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS on a Macbook Pro running MacOS Big Sur 11.3.1, I cannot make the Ubuntu terminal running especially the `apt` and `apt-get` commands to install new packages (Failed to fetch prompt). Surprisingly I can ping to an an IP address just fine. Any ideas? I have tried to unsuccessfully change the mirrors.

Hi! I can install ubuntu just fine on vbox 7, but after I start it, it show the purple screen(before ubuntu is installed on the host machine) and then shows this error: You must specify a machine to start, using the command line. Usage: VirtualBoxVM --startvm <name|UUID> Starts the VirtualBox virtual machine with the given name or unique identifier (UUID).
Hello! Really nice and instructive video. Thank you so much! However, I encountered a problem. I wanted to preserve my Mac OS installation on the internal SSD and created an external USB 3-connected cloned SSD boot drive with my Mac OS (10.14 Mojave) on it. I booted from this, installed Virtual Box, managed to point it to the ISO file (your video 15:28) and then started the green arrow (at 15:39). But then I got a black terminal window with following error message: "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted." I tried the VB installation with and without the Extension pack. Do you have any idea how to overcome this? Could this be an error due to the booting from the external drive? Does VB perhaps not recognise the USB connection of the boot drive?
Ok. Partial success. I went back, installed a new virtual machine in VB, and this time, at the point of setting it up, enabled USB 3 support. In the previous installation, this option was greyed out after the initial installation, and it was no longer possible to enable USB 3 support in the "ports" setting. Now, Ubuntu installs.
awesome video! However after I did the 2 commands, I am still not able to copy and paste bidirectional. Also the auto screen resize is not working for me
it lets me do the installing and all, but when i have to restart, it doesnt let me click the buttom, like it is always loading the curson, ho can i restart without clicking anything?
Man, somehow when I try to run sudo apt install build-essential dkms I get the following: unable to locate package build-essential. Are there any solutions to these through the installations? I followed all of your steps until the problem I get.
Thanks for sharing😊 How can I access my Wi-fi in Ubuntu using Virtual Machine on Mac? As I can only see the ethernet connection but, for wifi it is showing ''no wifi adapter found'. Would appreciate your help!
Is there any way to speed up the performance? It seems to have a really low fps even with 3D acceleration checked and the other guest additions and video memory applied. My macbook pro has considerably good specs so I'm just wondering what else could affect its performance.
Followed the second answer from this askubuntu.com/questions/573596/unable-to-install-guest-additions-cd-image-on-virtual-box which made it work for me.
Ben mine crashes when i click start i don't get the option to load the ISO and still crases if ii manually load the ISO like you show every time I click start it crashes ;(
That’s strange. Can you see what the error message says. Might be kernel driver instead of NS error. If it is, the system preferences way should fix it.
I typed in the last two commands, which should hypothetically allow ubuntu to go into full screen right? Do I need to restart/reset anything or can i just power off and power back on Ubuntu?
I have 2019 base model 13 inch MBP. 8 GB RAM 256 GB SSD. i installed ubuntu after watching your video but the system is lagging a lot. and also slow. at first I allocated 4GB RAM and 2 cores 30GB Storage but the system was really laggy. after that I allocated 5GB RAM 30GB storage and 3 cores but still not getting smooth performance. my fan is going crazy while using this.sometimes ubuntu becoming unresponsive for 2 mins.

Error: system: acceleration: page: The hardware virtualization is enabled in Acceleration settings section of the System page although it is not supported by the host system page.

I believe parallels is the only vm software that has M1 support at the moment. It is paid though. You can do it in Virtualbox with a 32 bit iso I think.
Hi, thank you for sharing the video. My mac is M1 and big sur 11.5.2. Following your instruction, for setting up new disk page, it only shows the option of Ubuntu_64 for version instead of Ubuntu (64 bits). I'm not really sure if these 2 are the same. For setting up the video memory, I cannot save the amendment as it shows that I have invalid setting for system acceleration. The message is as follows: 'The hardware visualisation is enabled in the Acceleration section of System page although it is not supported by the host system. It should be disabled in order to start the virtual system'. I tried to disable nested paging, but the error message is still there. May I know how to fix this problem? Thank you.
Can you fix the invalid settings detected: the system:acceleration page? It would not go away after I unchecked Enable Nested Paging. This prevents me to click ok to finish setting.

Virtualbox isn’t supported yet.
