    READ THIS FIRST - When installing other guest operating systems using VirtualBox, you may need to adjust the memory (RAM), and CPU, which I showed you in this video. If you are creating a Windows or Mac guest OS, you may need to adjust some of the settings higher than you would with Linux. On older computers, you may need to enable virtualization in the Bios. If you are experiencing issues with adjusting the size of the guest OS as shown in the video, you may need to install the "Guest Additions" for VirtualBox. Here's a link to the instructions. docs.oracle.com/cd/E36500_01/E36502/html/qs-guest-additions.html Thanks for watching :)

      Nicely done.
      I've been using this tool for most of its life, it's been really stable and super useful.
      I've worked in Unix/linux commercially since 1980, some things I can do in my sleep there, which take forever and paid tools in Windows world (which I have no argument with btw - I think 10 is a great OS) .

    For people who dont understand the "Erase Disk and Install" option, it does not mean your actual PC's hard disk. Remember that this window contains the Linux OS installation, and is not linked with your PC. Remember that we put the optical disk as the installation. that is what it means.

      Theoretically yes. But if your underlying hardware does not support hardware-assisted virtualization like intel VTX technology, then you will not get a lot of work done on this nested VM environment, because it will be way too slow to operate.
      For example, Hardware runs HostOS, HostOS runs GuestOS, and GuestOs runs NestedGuestOS. Now a single page fault or system call in the nestedGuestOS has to go through 2 levels of "world switches" one of the GuestOS and possibly of the hostOS which actually knows where the real pages are mapped.
      Do you see how this would be a problem ? Your NestedGuestOS would almost always be stuck in a syscall or page fault...
      So for practical reasons, this won't be useful unless you have hardware-assisted virtualization enabled.

(thus selecting between one operating system from another) I'm really glad that the Tech Gumbo crowd got behind this request but, REALLY happy that you listened and did not hesitate to make a video. THANK YOU we much appreciate it! (if the Gumbo Nation will allow me to say a collective Thank you.) Maybe we can follow up with what more you can do with Ubuntu if you haven't already done that.

    Thanks... just the type of easy to follow and understand "How-To" video I was looking for.
    But I have a question.... several of the Linux distros I've attempted to install inside the Virtual Box appear to only allow you to install them from the desktop once the Live version completely boots up ? (In other words they don't have the boot up option to either run it live, or, install it to hard disk as your video shows. Lubuntu 18.10 is an example of such. So is RoboLinux.)
    I too new at this to risk messing my Windows computer up and I'm worried that if I try to install it from the Linux Desktop, it will install the Linux OS onto my HARD DISK, instead of to the Virtual Box... if that makes sense ???
    Will installing it from the Linux Desktop install it to the Virtual Box or the Hard Drive as a "dual boot" system, do you know ?
    Thanks

    • @clthreeoneeight
      @clthreeoneeight 4 роки тому +5

      The VirtualBox Machine would have no access to your hard disk by default, therefore it can't install to the hard disk, only to its own virtualised hard disk, which is just a file on your hard disk.

      That is probably you're trying to use a Linux-32 instead of Linux-64 bit. This is how you fix it:
      For (HP Windows 10 in this case, you can google how to access your BIOS Menu for your PC/Laptop)
      1- In your computer Go to Settings
      2- Select Update and Security
      3- Select Recovery from the left menu.
      4- Click Restart Now under Advanced startup. ...
      5- Click Troubleshoot.
      6- Click Advanced options.
      7- Select UEFI Firmware Settings.
      8- Click Restart.
      Then when it restarts, you will have the BIOS setup window, so navigate to the Advanced BIOS Features using the left and right arrows, then in that menu navigate to the "Virtualization Technology" and set its value to enabled using the change value key probably F9 or F10 (You will see the key to use in the footer area of the menu), then Save and Exit. support.bluestacks.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003910391-How-can-I-enable-virtualization-VT-on-my-PC-
      Then when your computer restarts, while trying to add new Ubuntu to your VirtualBox, it should open just fine.
      Hopefully that was helpful..

    For those who are having trouble installing Ubuntu, you will need to alcoate 20GB instead of the 10GB it recommend not sure why that is but once I did I did that it worked. This for anyone new who is getting that same error I was getting with installation. You will have to create new virtual box to do so.
